Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Chu Yuhui, who was standing by the side, saw the expectation in Chu Qing's eyes and immediately stood up.

"Disciple, once we leave the Demon-Suppressing Valley, we will head straight to Ba City. This time, even if I have to risk my life fighting those highly poisonous Corpse Scorpions in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm, I will find the Heavy Water Spiritual Object for you!"

Seeing his Master like this, Chu Qing felt a tightness in his heart and stood up.

"Master, there are many Tier Four and Tier Five Corpse Scorpions in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm, and there might even be Tier Six Corpse Scorpions. All of them are fatally poisonous and extremely dangerous. Disciple... I can definitely wait another year to break through!"

Chu Yuhui shook his head, his eyes filled with determination.

Guo Heilong then spoke, "When the Ba Mountain Secret Realm opens, many Late Stage Fourth Layer Martial Cultivators from the Great Marsh Prefecture and Nanyuan Prefecture will enter to seek Heavy Water Spiritual Objects. There might even be some Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators searching for Treasures for their juniors! Li Baimei, you should go to the Ba Mountain Secret Realm with Brother Yuhui and Chu Qing. With you, a veteran Steward of the Holy Dragon Association, others will surely not dare to contend with you for the Spiritual Objects! However, the most dangerous thing in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm is not other Martial Cultivators, but the deadly Corpse Scorpion Venom. After leaving the Demon-Suppressing Valley, see if you can buy Zhengyuan Grass to resist the Corpse Scorpion Venom. If you can't, try to avoid those highly poisonous creatures as much as possible. This time, I hope you can find one or two drops of the Heavy Water Spiritual Object for Chu Qing!"

Li Baimei was naturally very wary of those highly poisonous Corpse Scorpions, but since the Elder had spoken, he couldn't refuse. So he steeled himself and said, "Elder, don't worry. When we leave the valley, I will arrange for all our personnel to search for Zhengyuan Grass, the only thing that can cure Corpse Scorpion Venom! When we get to the Ba Mountain Secret Realm, unless we encounter Tier Five Corpse Scorpions... Otherwise, I'll have a chance to kill Late Stage Tier Four Corpse Scorpions from hundreds of meters away, so their terrifying Corpse Scorpion Venom shouldn't trouble us! This time, we will surely help Steward Chu Qing find a few drops of the Heavy Water Spiritual Object!"

...

Outside Luoxia Slope, Lin Xuankong looked towards Han Feiyan, Ye Kai, and the others, saying, "Feiyan, Brother Ye, Yu Fei and I are heading to the Zhen Character and Xun Branch gathering points this time. It's a long journey, filled with numerous Demons. Are you all sure you want to follow?"

Han Feiyan heard this, her face showing some reluctance. "Brother Lin, Han Xiu, a few others, and I want to follow you. We may not be able to help in battles, but handling minor tasks is no problem for us!"

Lin Xuankong smiled. "Once we leave the Demon-Suppressing Valley, there will be many opportunities to meet again!"

Ye Kai, understanding Lin Xuankong didn't want him to follow, smiled and said, "Yes, we can meet outside too. Brother Lin will definitely come to Ba City to get the Alchemy Manual for the Golden Body Treasure Elixir!"

Han Feiyan glared at him. "Don't you know you could send someone to deliver it to Brother Lin? Must you make Brother Lin travel all the way to Ba City!"

Ye Kai shook his head. "It's not just about the Alchemy Manual. Have you forgotten that the Ba Mountain Secret Realm near Ba City will open in about twenty days? That Little World has many good things!"

Han Feiyan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then frowned. "The Ba Mountain Secret Realm is full of highly poisonous Corpse Scorpions. Occasionally, there are some Spirit Herbs and Elixir, but they are mostly guarded by poisonous Corpse Scorpions. There are even Tier Five Corpse Scorpions! Good things? Nonsense! Going in there is practically asking to die!"

Ye Kai laughed. "You'd be throwing your life away if you went in, but with Brother Lin's strength, if he makes a trip, he might be able to obtain premium Spirit Grass like Zhengyuan Grass, or even get the Heavy Water Spiritual Object!"

Han Feiyan fell silent upon hearing Zhengyuan Grass and the Heavy Water Spiritual Object.

Lin Xuankong, however, asked with puzzlement, "Heavy Water Spiritual Object?"

Ye Kai nodded and explained about the Ba Mountain Secret Realm and the Heavy Water Spiritual Object. "Brother Lin should also be at the Fourth Layer in Cultivation, right? If you can obtain the Heavy Water Spiritual Object and have it refined into a Heavy Water Treasure Pill by a Royal Alchemist from Kyoto, when you advance to the Fifth Layer in the future, your Cultivation Speed will be fifty percent faster than if you consumed an ordinary Treasure Elixir! However, this Ba Mountain Secret Realm will attract many powerful Fourth Layer Martial Cultivators to search for Treasures. The fatal Corpse Scorpion Venom inside is feared by everyone; even Sixth Layer and Seventh Layer Martial Cultivators cannot fully resist it! If it weren't for a powerhouse like Brother Lin, ordinary Fourth Layer Martial Cultivators going in would almost certainly be throwing their lives away! The Ba Mountain Secret Realm is even more dangerous than the Demon Slaying Conference. After all, the Demonic Poison of the creatures inside is terrifying, and their Realms are not suppressed! And because of the innumerable highly poisonous creatures inside, it's said that even Seventh Layer and Eighth Layer Martial Cultivators cannot withstand the True Qi consumption in the central area, which is why no one has ever reached the center to obtain the Celestial Demon Bone!"

Han Feiyan heard this and couldn't help but stare. "How could the Celestial Demon Bone be so easy to obtain? Factions like the Yin Talisman Sect, the Huang Family, and the Guo Family, even at their peak, never possessed a Celestial Demon Bone. Don't even dream about such things! The most precious things in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm are Zhengyuan Grass, which can counter Same Tier Demon Poison, and the equally precious Heavy Water Spiritual Object. If anyone can get some Zhengyuan Grass or a few drops of the Heavy Water Spiritual Object and come out alive, they would already be the luckiest of the lucky!"

Lin Xuankong began to contemplate upon hearing this.

The Ba Mountain Secret Realm produces such a precious Heavy Water Spiritual Object. If I can obtain it, I might have a chance to use an Innate Spiritual Object to break through to the Fifth Layer... Others have less than a one-in-twenty chance of advancing using an Innate Spiritual Object. However, with my Vigorous in Old Age, that chance increases sixtyfold. Doesn't that mean a single drop of Heavy Water could give me the chance to activate the Heavy Water Vein, which can drastically increase a Martial Cultivator's Cultivation Speed! As for the so-called highly poisonous Corpse Scorpions in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm, I can completely ignore any poison below the Immortal Tier... There are still twenty days until the Ba Mountain Secret Realm opens. During this time, I estimate my Cultivation can reach Fourth Layer Perfection! By then, at Fourth Layer Perfection, with various Cultivation Techniques, numerous Battle Armors, Treasures, and Demon Pearls in hand, fully equipped, I should have a chance to fight even if I encounter Tier Five Demons or powerhouses! Of course, I should prepare thoroughly before going, so I can be more confident. After all, Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators and Tier Five Demons can attack from tens or even hundreds of meters away. Just hearing about it sounds ferocious! Hundreds of meters is more than a kilometer. Taking the life of a Third Layer or Fourth Layer Martial Cultivator from over a kilometer away... that's comparable to a human-shaped cannon! Once I leave the Demon-Suppressing Valley and cultivate to Fourth Layer Perfection, should I find someone at Early Stage Fifth Layer to spar with before deciding whether to go or not? The Charming Chief Steward is at Early Stage Fifth Layer. But what reason could I use to spar with her without revealing my astonishing Cultivation Speed? Besides her, I wonder which other factions have someone at Early Stage Fifth Layer I could test my skills against... The Black Tiger Gang, the Feng Family, and the Guo Family should have some, right!
