After the time it took to brew a pot of tea.

He slowly revealed a smile, “Not bad, not bad at all! My progress has actually improved by one percent. If I was to fully digest all of the medicinal benefits, these three persimmons should have increased my progress by about eight percent.”

“If I digest all eighteen, it can accelerate my breakthrough into the Eighth Spiritual Sea Realm by half.”

“Even without considering time, it equates to 600,000 lower-grade spiritual stones, plus it saves me at least three months of tedious cultivation!”

“Excellent! Worthy of three hundred-year-old persimmons indeed, their medicinal power is outstanding!”

Jiang Yuan kept marveling.

He was very pleased with this small windfall brought about by consuming these 200 strands of Luck Power.

Although innate Luck Power is important, so is one’s strength.

His current innate Luck Power is not considered extravagant.

But the moment he encounters a great cultivator in the Dharma Realm, a casual flick from the opponent could completely obliterate him.

This is the terrifying reality of being suppressed by someone a higher realm.

Therefore, this opportunity, which brings him advantages worth hundreds of thousands and also saves him several months of laborious practice, made him quite satisfied.

Time waits for no one! The impending move of the Imperial Family is always hanging over his head, like the sword of Damocles.

He is not ungrateful to the Supreme Mystery Sect that treats him well.

In his mind, self-preservation is the priority, but if he can save the Supreme Mystery Sect, that would be the best outcome.

In the Supreme Mystery Sect, apart from a few people who left a bad impression on him.

The rest were all very decent.

Although he and Kong Nian are not related, Kong Nian treats him with great care.

The same is true for Sect Leader Lu Qingshan.

Liu Jie and Liu Rushi are both his good friends.

Despite only meeting Xiao Ruochen twice, he left a deep impression on him, at least treating him quite well.

If it weren’t for Xiao Ruochen, he would still have a lot of trouble with the powerful Enforcement Hall.

Senior Brother Kou Dong is also very good, including the Fourth Elder and so on…

Many people have left deep impressions in his heart, and he does not want these familiar faces to be buried in the turmoil that comes a few years later.

So for Jiang Yuan, time is of utmost importance.

He checked his Status Panel once again.

[Destiny’s Chance]: Currently cooling down. (Can be triggered by consuming Luck Power, the greater the consumption, the greater the opportunity uncovered, and the longer the cooling period thereafter.)

As expected, it’s cooling down. In that case, it’s time to go back!

Thinking this, Jiang Yuan instantly burrowed into the ground and sped towards the Supreme Mystery Sect.

Three days later, he successfully arrived at the Supreme Mystery Sect.

At a speed thirty percent faster than before.

This is the result of his recent practice.

The Small Five Elements Escape Technique focuses more on mastering the Five Elements Path.

Under his understanding of the Five Elements principles, practicing the Small Five Elements Escape Technique was like a thousand days in one single day.

In a few days, he was able to progress from beginner level to above minor proficiency level.

It was this breakthrough in the Small Five Elements Escape Technique that increased his speed by thirty percent compared to before.

Moreover, over these three days, all three persimmons he had consumed earlier were completely digested.

The efficiency also left him astonished for a good while.

Because at his previous cultivation speed, this kind of spiritual power increase would require 15 to 20 days.

And using such extraordinary treasures like persimmons, solely relying on the powerful effects of Gluttonous Belly, he achieved this efficiency in just three days.

“Indeed, obtaining fortuitous encounters is incredibly important.”

The more he thought about his trip to Pearl Cave, the more he anticipated it.

Afterwards, he pushed open the main door.

And saw Shu Xiaoxiao practicing sword moves in the courtyard.

She was dressed in a simple white gown, her beauty as ethereal as a fairy.

As she danced, she was as graceful as a startled swan and as flexible as a wandering dragon, incredibly beautiful.

For a moment, the courtyard was filled with the crisscrossing aura of sword energy.

Clap clap clap!

Jiang Yuan immediately applauded enthusiastically.

Shu Xiaoxiao also slowly sheathed her sword and stood proudly.

“Young Master, you’re back!” She grinned at him radiantly.

“Yes!” Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, then added, “Your dance was excellent!”

A delightful smile formed on Shu Xiaoxiao’s face. After seeing Mu Qianru’s dance for Jiang Yuan, she thought that it was necessary for her, as a maid, to learn some entertaining skills as well.

Subsequently, Jiang Yuan briefly chatted for a while before heading to his small courtyard.

Shu Xiaoxiao also knew the importance of time. The opening of the Pearl Cave was just two months away.

The stronger their Young Master was before the cave opened, the safer he would be.

So she didn’t disturb Jiang Yuan, but focused on her own cultivation.

Practising the sword dance was just a relaxation activity during her leisure time.

Cultivation was the most important aspect.

If she entered the Pearl Cave and her power was too weak, she would become a burden to the Young Master.

Upon returning to the small courtyard…

Jiang Yuan originally planned to focus on comprehending the techniques of the Small Five Elements Fist and the Small Five Elements Escape in these two months, to increase his methods and enhance his combat power.

Since the time was too short, it was impossible for him to break through to the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm before the opening of the Pearl Cave.

But now things were different.

He had fifteen three-hundred-year-old persimmons and half of a spiritual vein jade marrow, he wanted to try whether he could step into the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm before the opening of the Pearl Cave, disregarding the cost.

The previous enlightenment had allowed him to grasp the power of the laws of the Five Elements beforehand.

Though he had only begun to understand it, under this circumstance, comprehending the Small Five Elements Fist would be extremely easy.

The Small Five Elements Escape demanded more understanding of the laws of the Five Elements.

Within only a few days before, he had achieved entry-level proficiency and was not far from achieving great success.

This is the efficiency of grasping the rules of the Five Elements in advance.

Jiang Yuan then took out three persimmons, chewed them twice, and swallowed them.

He then took out the half of the spiritual vein jade marrow and began to madly absorb and refine the spiritual energy within it.

At that moment, the enormous spiritual energy, after being refined through his meridians, transformed into a liquid and flowed into the spiritual sea within his body.

This efficiency of his was more than double compared to when he had used the Spirit Gathering Array.

Under these circumstances, the spiritual power in his body was growing at a monstrous speed.

Time slowly passed.

Half a month later, all his persimmons had been totally exhausted.

Jiang Yuan felt extremely satisfied with the amassed spiritual power in his body.

Natural resources were truly formidable.

If he had another batch of three-hundred-year-old persimmons, he was totally confident that he could break through to the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm within the remaining half a month.

To compress the time that normally would have taken seven or eight months into one month, this efficiency was beyond his imagination.

This had quite a lot to do with his Gluttonous Belly, but it also demonstrated the importance of resources.

Spiritual stones were only the most common cultivation resources.

All sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, spiritual plants and divine medicines, were the miraculous items that truly could transform decay into a miracle.

He had heard and read about various records. Some had encountered a Dragon Blood Fruit in the secret realm where the True Dragon fell. This was a genuine Dragon Blood Fruit, a celestial medicine found only in the realm where a real dragon had fallen.

Consuming it would break the limit of one’s innate constitution, fortify the physical body to an unparalleled level, making one virtually impervious to any process within the same realm. Even the Demon Tribe would be inferior to him in physical strength.

That was the effect of the Celestial Medicine.

And there were individuals who had fallen into secret realms and obtained the Immortal Phoenix Grass, which transformed their bloodline and awakened them to the Phoenix Dharma-nature.

They could wield the power of reincarnation, tasked with using the phoenix divine fire, realising the path of the Fire Element Great Dao, and achieving the Saint Dao Fruit with ease.

Had this been in ancient times, this would have been enough for them to achieve immortality.

Items of this level, the celestial medicine, could truly turn decay into life.

Compared to this, the three-hundred-year-old persimmons were merely a spiritual medicine that was a hundred years old, barely fitting the definition of a spiritual medicine.

A Spiritual medicine was only considered as such if the medicinal power accumulated was for over a hundred years.

Every hundred years, a minor transformation occurred, and every thousand years, a major transformation occurred.

Ten thousand-year-old spiritual plants were known as divine medicine. The efficacy of these divine medicines was highly counter-intuitive, containing the rules of the Great Dao, the chain of divine order, and could also affect the miraculous transformation of decay into life.

As for the celestial medicine, it was occasionally found before the ancient times.

But after the communication with the heaven and the earth was severed, it had completely turned into a myth.
