Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Chapter 72. (1/2) Immortal Cultivation Extra 4
When Gu Fan regained consciousness, she heard the familiar sound of rain.
She opened her eyes, but before she had time to look around, she was met with a handsome face that was all too familiar.
Lu Ya was lying next to her, so close that Gu Fan could see his closed eyelashes clearly, each one distinct.
She paused for a moment but dared not move. The five senses of the high-up cultivator were too sharp, and she was afraid that he would wake up.
She didn’t even dare to blink her eyelashes, just looked at him quietly, perhaps a little greedily.
In fact, she understood that this person was not Lu Ya, but he was also him.
She just couldn’t be sure whether those feelings still held weight and whether what had happened on Earth had the same significance in his heart. If he just felt it was novel, or out of sympathy, he couldn’t bear to let her, his cheap Taoist partner, suffer the “pain of being a widow”, then Gu Fan would rather he leave.
While he wasn’t noticing, Gu Fan closed her eyes and looked inward.
Upon seeing this, Gu Fan’s breathing became heavier. There was actually a round and golden elixir in her dantian!
Just like a poor beggar who suddenly got a big gold ingot, all of Gu Fan’s spiritual consciousness surrounded this golden elixir, as if she would never get tired of looking at it, even for a lifetime.
There is also a circle of spherical phantoms around the golden elixir, which indicates the size of the golden elixir when she cultivates to the great perfection state of the golden elixir stage. Therefore, based on the current proportion of the golden elixir, Gu Fan knows that her cultivation has reached the fifth level of the golden elixir stage.
A spiritual essence not only strengthened her spiritual roots but also elevated her realm significantly in an instant.
This is the value of natural treasures. Suppose cultivators want to advance and slowly achieve immortality besides practising step by step. In that case, these natural treasures are the only shortcut. Although alchemists’ elixirs have similar effects, they can easily lead to unstable foundations for those who take them. In contrast, natural treasures have no side effects. No wonder cultivators enjoy treasure hunting so much; sometimes, they even fight to the death in the process.
The risk is high, but the reward is equally high!
In the past, Gu Fan’s strength was too weak, and she thought it was hopeless for her to build a foundation. She wanted to save her life above all else. Now, as she is getting closer to that goal step by step, her mentality has naturally changed.
After admiring her own spiritual roots for a while, Gu Fan ended her inner vision.
“One hundred and fifty-two years old, fifth level of the Golden Core Stage. By this calculation, your aptitude is not too bad.”
Lu Ya woke up at some point, sat next to her and said with a smile.
Gu Fan blushed instantly.
How can she be considered as having good qualifications? A small part of these improvements was due to absorbing his Yuan Yang, and a large part was due to taking the spiritual marrow he had given her.
“Don’t be ashamed. No cultivator can advance completely on their own. Some people become disciples of a master, who provides them with resources. This is a shortcut. Some people look for natural treasures. This is another shortcut. Some people also use furnaces to replenish their furnaces. This is also a shortcut. However, no matter how many shortcuts there are, they cannot lead directly to the immortal gate. The rest of the way depends on the cultivator themself.”
Gu Fan lowered her eyes, but she was actually listening very carefully. The shame that had just arisen in her heart also disappeared along with his clear words.
Now that you have benefited, you should continue to pursue the right path rather than obsessing over whether you have taken shortcuts.
“Thanks.”
Whether it is the advancement of her cultivation or the enlightenment of her state of mind, Gu Fan should thank him.
Lu Ya smiled, looked at her lowered eyes and said, “You’re welcome. There is no difference between Taoist couples.”
Gu Fan: …
Lu Ya: “There are several monsters in this mountain that are suitable for Golden stage cultivators to practice with. Do you want to give it a try?”
Gu Fan nodded.
Lu Ya looked at her, and suddenly, a map of the mountains appeared in Gu Fan’s mind. Several monsters were either living in caves or lying underwater, unaware of Lu Ya’s investigation.
“You go by yourself. Once you kill these monsters, I will appear naturally.” After Lu Ya finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared.
Gu Fan quickly suppressed her feeling of loss.
Although her cultivation had improved, Gu Fan still only knew a few low-level spells and didn’t even have a decent magic weapon.
In addition to her cultivation, Gu Fan’s greatest reliance is the combat experience she has accumulated after fighting various monsters on Earth.
Although S-level monsters are not as powerful as the demon beasts in the world of cultivation, they are enough to allow Gu Fan to improve her body movements and use magic spells to perfection.
.
A month later, as Gu Fan swallowed a mouthful of blood, the last monster that Lu Ya chose for her finally fell to the ground from mid-air and died completely.
Gu Fan took out two top-grade spirit stones. When the two top-grade spirit stones were completely absorbed by her, her spiritual power was only restored to about 30%.
The higher the level of cultivation, the weaker the replenishing effect of spirit stones, so low-level cultivators use spirit stones as currency, while high-level cultivators prefer natural treasures.
After regaining her fighting strength, Gu Fan took out the S-class dagger. It skillfully processed the monster’s corpse, extracting the most valuable inner elixir.
With the corpses of these monsters, she could go back to the market and exchange them for some magic weapons so she wouldn’t be too poor.
After dealing with the monster, Gu Fan cleaned her body and turned around to see Lu Ya standing behind her in a jade-white robe.
Gu Fan was not so resistant to him anymore and asked curiously, “You must have had friends before you overcame the tribulation. You disappeared for so long, didn’t you go back to see them?”
Lu Ya smiled and said, “I have already sent messages to the people I should contact.”
Gu Fan understood. She had stayed on Earth for too long. She almost forgot that cultivators had their own way of communicating with each other.
“I want to find a market, buy some things, and ask how to get to the Xu family.”
The Xu family is the family of her unfortunate fellow student.
