At the same time, Terra Su, who was being discussed by others, was already sitting cross-legged in a guest room of the Five Treasures Hall.
Although staying at the Five Treasures Hall temporarily alleviated the immediate danger, Terra Su did not feel any relief. Instead, the sense of crisis grew even stronger.
After all, he couldn’t stay at the Five Treasures Hall forever; he would have to leave eventually. It was only a matter of time.
“I must quickly improve my strength!” Terra Su murmured. Since his rebirth in this life, he had been yearning for immense power every moment. In the world of Martial Dao, only with great strength could one live freely and unrestrained!
Take the current situation, for example. If he had the strength to contend with the Ye Family, why would he need to hide in the Five Treasures Hall?
“Time to cultivate!”
Terra Su calmed his mind, picked up a porcelain bottle from beside him, uncorked it, and poured out a small, bright red elixir the size of a fingernail.
This bright red elixir was called the Spirit Gathering Elixir, used by Martial Practitioners in the Condensing Origin Realm during cultivation. Its function was different from the Minor Origin Elixir. The Minor Origin Elixir contained a small amount of Spiritual Qi that could be absorbed by Martial Practitioners after consumption, while the Spirit Gathering Elixir sped up the absorption of Spiritual Qi for twelve hours after consumption.
To put it simply, the Minor Origin Elixir was like food, while the Spirit Gathering Elixir was something that sped up the eating process.
These Spirit Gathering Elixirs were made by Master Mo at the Alchemy Guild after Terra Su bought the materials from the Five Treasures Hall and had Manager Min send them over. Firstly, it was inconvenient for Terra Su to leave the Five Treasures Hall. Secondly, since Terra Su had agreed to participate in the Alchemy Guild’s promotion day for Master Mo, it was not too much to ask Master Mo to help make a few bottles of Spirit Gathering Elixirs in return.
For an average Martial Practitioner, consuming one Spirit Gathering Elixir every ten days or half a month would be considered good. But for Terra Su, he could treat them like candy, consuming one every day without interruption.
At this moment, the Spirit Gathering Elixir lay quietly in Terra Su’s palm, bright red and fragrant, clearly meticulously crafted, with a quality rating of ten stars.
Terra Su took a deep breath of satisfaction. He had to admit, Master Mo was a reliable ally.
The Spirit Gathering Elixir could enhance the speed of a Martial Practitioner’s cultivation. Although the help wasn’t immense, when used in conjunction with the Minor Origin Elixir, the effect was quite significant.
Terra Su opened one of the boxes beside him, revealing a hundred neatly arranged Minor Origin Elixirs.
Now that Terra Su had advanced to the Condensing Origin Realm and possessed the Five Elements True Essence Core, his need for Spiritual Qi had reached a terrifying level. To meet these needs, the number of Minor Origin Elixirs he consumed daily during cultivation had increased from one to ten.
“At this rate of consumption, the Minor Origin Elixirs I won from Otto Jiang and Robert Jiang will be used up in no time.”
Terra Su shook his head, dismissing the thought, and took out ten Minor Origin Elixirs, swallowing them along with the Spirit Gathering Elixir in one go.
After consuming the Minor Origin Elixirs and the Spirit Gathering Elixir, Spiritual Qi surged within Terra Su’s abdomen. He began to enter a state of cultivation, operating the Chaotic Immortal Records to absorb this Spiritual Qi and convert it into True Essence within his Dantian.
Under the effect of the Chaotic Immortal Records, the benefits brought by these elixirs were completely absorbed by Terra Su’s body, without any waste.
Logically, the existence of the Five Elements True Essence Core would greatly slow down Terra Su’s cultivation speed. However, one major advantage of the Chaotic Immortal Records was its extremely fast cultivation speed. Coupled with the support of the Spirit Gathering Elixir and the Minor Origin Elixir, Terra Su’s cultivation speed was still far ahead of other Martial Practitioners of the same level.
In focused cultivation, time flew by.
Several days later, a graceful figure appeared at the door of Terra Su’s room in the Five Treasures Hall.
This graceful figure was Emma Jiang. If she weren’t Terra Su’s cousin, the Five Treasures Hall wouldn’t have let her in, let alone allowed her to come to Terra Su’s room.
“Terra Su, I’m leaving.”
Emma Jiang spoke through the door. Today was the day Instructor Ouyang was taking her to Tianyue Academy. Instructor Ouyang had already obtained the Leaving Fire Elixir from Master Mo and was ready to leave Clear River City.
After saying this, Emma Jiang waited quietly, but the Terra Su inside the room seemed to be deeply engrossed in his cultivation and did not respond.
Emma Jiang bit her lip, raised her hand as if to knock on the door, but then changed her mind and lowered it.
“I will strive to become stronger. When I become a true powerhouse, I will appear before you again!”
Emma Jiang declared to the closed door, then turned and left.
The next time she appeared, it would be as a strong individual. Until then, she wouldn’t see Terra Su again!
Of course, Terra Su inside the room was unaware of all that had transpired outside.
Time flew by, and fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the sixteenth day, the Five Elements True Essence Core in Terra Su’s Dantian buzzed incessantly, having expanded to its limit, unable to accommodate any more True Essence.
“It’s time to break through to the second level of the Condensing Origin Realm.”
Terra Su focused his mind on his Dantian and began to condense the second Five Elements True Essence Core.
In his Dantian, five strands of True Essence gradually coalesced into five small points, which then transformed into five rapidly spinning small cores, growing faster and larger. During this process, his Dantian also expanded continuously to accommodate more True Essence.
This process lasted for a full five hours.
After five hours, the second Five Elements True Essence Core finally formed. Like the first, it was composed of five small True Essence Cores, each in gold, green, blue, red, and yellow, attracting and repelling each other, maintaining a delicate balance.
“Condensing Origin Realm, second level, achieved!”
Terra Su exhaled a long breath of turbid air, his eyes opening to reveal a hidden electric light, exuding a confident and powerful aura.
From today onwards, he was a second-level Condensing Origin Realm Martial Practitioner. Moreover, his strength far surpassed that of an average second-level Condensing Origin Realm Martial Practitioner, making him virtually invincible at the same level.
“Having broken through to the second level of the Condensing Origin Realm, it’s time to train my martial techniques.”
A Martial Practitioner’s cultivation level and martial techniques were both indispensable. Even with a powerful cultivation level, if the martial techniques couldn’t keep up, one would suffer in actual combat. Therefore, after breaking through to a new realm, Martial Practitioners would typically refine their martial techniques to match their improved cultivation level.
For the next five days, Terra Su trained the Waves Stacking Slash in the training yard of the Five Treasures Hall.
On the fifth day, Terra Su slashed out with his sword, leaving a three-inch-deep mark on the metal training post.
“Hard work pays off. The Waves Stacking Slash has been successfully cultivated to the ‘Nine Waves in One Sword’ level, doubling its power once again.” Terra Su’s eyes sparkled. The Waves Stacking Slash became increasingly difficult to break through to the next level, but he had managed to advance from the eighth wave to the ninth wave in just five days, a speed worthy of pride.
Now, with the Nine Waves in One Sword level, Terra Su could easily defeat a third-level Condensing Origin Realm Martial Practitioner. If he went all out, even contending with a fourth-level Condensing Origin Realm Martial Practitioner wouldn’t be impossible.
