“These additional two levels of cultivation should be brought to me by Yun Lige and Ji Wuxia, right? Wang Cai, get me their information.”

“Coming, coming.”

It had to be said that Wang Cai’s voice was very charming. If he were to become a voice actor, he would definitely be top-notch.

“I have already generated Yun Lige and Ji Wuxia’s cultivation interface. Please take a look, Master.”

Lu Xiaoran glanced at it.

Yun Lige had just broken through to the Master Realm and had stepped into the first level of the Spirit Realm.

This time, his cultivation speed was far inferior to before.

Previously, his cultivation had soared because the foundation that originally belonged to a Master Realm expert had not dissipated.

The Primordial Chaos Emperor Scripture had also gathered those foundations for him. This was why his early-stage cultivation was like riding a rocket.

However, after breaking through to the Master Realm, he was no different from an ordinary person.

It could only be said that the enhancement of an Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique was faster than ordinary cultivation techniques.

He estimated that it would probably take more than a month before he could advance by another level. Moreover, the time would only get longer and longer!

Looking at Ji Wuxia again, he saw that her cultivation had originally been at the first level of the Spirit Realm. Now, she had already advanced to the second level of the Spirit Realm and was halfway to the third level.

Her bloodline was indeed superior to Yun Lige’s.

It was a cultivation technique of the same level, and it was even more difficult for her since she was at a higher level. Compared to Yun Lige, her cultivation speed was much faster.

“This doesn’t seem right either. These two guys only increased their cultivation by a small level each. It’s not like before at all. How is it possible for them to increase my cultivation by two realm levels in a row? Wang Cai, did you get something wrong? This doesn’t conform to the law of conservation of energy.”

“They indeed did not increase Master’s cultivation by two realm levels. They only provided Master with one realm level. In fact, the reason why Master was able to break through was because of Master’s talent. It was also because Master had the Great Void Chaos Steps and the Azure Thearch Longevity Art circulating in his body.”

“I’m actually speechless.”

Lu Xiaoran knew his talent very well. He was smart and learned everything very quickly.

However, the best cultivation technique he had cultivated before was a Heaven Realm cultivation technique. Therefore, his calculation method was outdated.

However, he had forgotten that whether it was a Heaven Realm cultivation technique or an Earth Realm cultivation technique, the difference between these cultivation techniques and an Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique was too great.

Coupled with his peerless talent, the effects of his cultivation had been doubled.

However, Lu Xiaoran indeed felt that this system of taking in disciples was still terrifying.

This was because he could obtain his cultivation without putting in any work.

Just imagine, if ten or twenty disciples cultivated together, the cultivation speed would definitely be much faster than his.

However, at this moment, Lu Xiaoran suddenly sensed that someone had arrived in front of the array formation.

He immediately put away the chaotic thoughts in his heart and tapped his foot, instantly disappearing from his spot.

The Great Void Chaos Steps allowed him to arrive at the foot of the mountain in an instant.

The sudden appearance of Lu Xiaoran shocked the Heaven Demon Sect junior who was traveling.

“Senior Uncle Lu, why did you suddenly appear? You scared me.”

Lu Xiaoran placed his hands behind his back and said indifferently, “It’s because your cultivation is too weak that you couldn’t sense me clearly.”

The other party was somewhat ashamed when he heard this and immediately cupped his hands.

“Uncle-Master is right. My apologies.”

Lu Xiaoran waved his hand.

“No need for that. Tell me, why did you come to my Zhishui Peak?”

“Reporting to Uncle-Master Lu, the Sect Master has ordered all the elders to gather in the sect’s main hall at this moment. I’m under orders to inform Uncle-Master.”

“I see. Thank you.”

“What are you talking about, Uncle-Master Lu? It was my honor to inform you.”

“Yeah.”

Lu Xiaoran nodded and casually threw out a small bottle of medicinal pills. Then, he turned around and left Zhishui Peak.

The young disciple’s eyes revealed a hint of envy.

“As expected of Uncle-Master, what speed. His cultivation level has probably already exceeded the Spirit Realm, right?”

Then, he looked down at the small porcelain bottle in his hand, and his eyes immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.

“It’s actually a Qi Gathering Pill! Uncle-Master Lu sure is generous! Looks like in the future, I have to befriend Uncle-Master Lu more and obtain his favor.”

This was also Lu Xiaoran’s style.

After all, it was not enough to survive in the dangerous mysterious world just by relying on his principle of living ignobly alone. How was that possible? Anyone who believed that was too naive.

As the saying goes, if you don’t want to find trouble with others, others will.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoran also liked to make friends.

The Qi Gathering Pill was simply easy for him to obtain and was completely worthless.

With a casual refinement, he could produce the Spirit Concentration Pill. That was a medicinal pill between the Qi Gathering Pill and the Essence Energy Pill.

Qi Gathering Pills were all scraps. Therefore, it was the most cost-effective to give them away and befriend others.

Lu Xiaoran quickly arrived at the gathering place of the sect, in the Heaven Demon Sect’s main hall.

Many Heaven Demon Sect elders had already gathered here.

The people in the innermost group were all ruddy old men. They were all elders of the Heaven Demon Sect, and most of them were at the Mountain Sea Realm.

The limit of ordinary cultivators was the Mountain Sea Realm.

It was very difficult for them to advance any further. All that was left was to slowly cultivate, extend their lifespan, and hope to live another day.

To put it bluntly, it was no different from waiting for death. Unless one had the opportunity to break through and condense blood essence again to increase their age, there was simply no other way.

The group outside was relatively young. Some looked to be in their thirties or forties, and some looked to be in their thirties like Lu Xiaoran.

Some of them had entered the Heaven Demon Sect at the same time as Lu Xiaoran.

However, most of them were at the Spirit Realm, and there were even some at the late-stage Master Realm.

“Xiaoran, you’re here.”

As soon as Lu Xiaoran arrived, two figures surrounded him.

It was a man and a woman. The man was called Li Daoran and the woman was called Lin Jie.

The two of them had entered the Heaven Demon Sect at the same time as Lu Xiaoran and were good friends.

Seeing the two of them, Lu Xiaoran also smiled.

“Long time no see.”

Li Daoran smacked his lips.

“You don’t say. You’ve been holed up on Zhishui Peak all day. You never even visited us.”

Lu Xiaoran touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.

“It can’t be helped. My talent is relatively bad. If I can cultivate for a little longer, I’ll cultivate for a little longer.”

“Among the three of us, you’re the only one who cultivates so diligently every day. It’s not that I want to say this, but are you planning to cultivate to the Martial Monarch Realm? There’s no need to try that hard! With the talent of the three of us, we’ll at most be able to reach the Mountain Sea Realm in this lifetime. If we’re lucky, we might only be able to reach the Soul Refinement Realm. Why do you have to work so hard? Don’t you get tired?”
