System Of Endless Cultivation

Eryx now had 310 Energy Points. It had to be said that these energy points came to him quite easily. Of course, some of them were obtained thanks to his quick thinking and cleverness. He couldn't help but smirk when he thought about how he had tricked Lin Ning'er into giving him extra Spirit Stones, which provided him with a large number of points.

Though the energy points were flowing in smoothly, Eryx knew he couldn't always rely on such methods. He would need to find more ways to gather resources and grow stronger. Still, for now, he had plenty of energy at his disposal.

With so many Energy Points, not only can he advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm, but he can also improve in some other ways.

Just as he was about to stand up and leave, his eyes caught sight of the only remaining Crimson Spirit Fruit. This fruit was deep red, and Eryx could feel a strong vitality from it.

Thinking for a second, he reached out to touch the fruit.

⟪Crimson Spirit Fruit: 300 Points⟫

"Damn!"

Eryx was amazed, not expecting an almost mature Crimson Spirit Fruit to be worth 300 Points of High-leveled Energy. The other two fruits only provided him with 100 Energy Points each.

What a loss!

Shaking his head, Eryx shifted his gaze and started tending to the herbs.

Just like that, the day passed, and the night arrived.

Inside his room, Eryx sat down on the bed and looked at the 310 Energy Points. This much energy was enough for him to improve his cultivation by leaps and bounds in an instant; however, he couldn't take the risk of doing that.

After all, Lin Ning'er had only given him 10 Low-grade Spirit Stones, which should be enough for him to cultivate to the Seventh or Eighth Layer of Qi Refining. Advancing beyond that would definitely raise suspicion in her heart.

From Zero to Fourth Layer of Qi Refining consumed 50 Points of High-leveled Energy Points. It is common knowledge that the higher one goes, the more energy will be consumed.

Thinking for a while, Erys first chose to invest 80 points in his cultivation. This much should be enough for him to level up three or four times.

[You have invested 80 Points of High-level Energy in your cultivation.]

[You started circulating the Flowing Vitality Breathing Technique and felt a surge of energy rushing into your body. Cultivation has been easy for you from the very beginning. Now was no different. Just like that, you broke through to the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining.]

[You advanced...]

[You became a Seventh Layer Qi Refinement Realm cultivator.]

At this point, Eryx suddenly felt waves of energy surging inside him. His cultivation started rising, and in a short few seconds, his cultivation rose to the Seventh Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm.

Eryx was not surprised. He also knew he needed to invest 130 Energy Points if he wanted to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm. But now is not the time yet.

Suppressing his urge, Eryx shifted his attention to his special physique. Then he looked at the remaining 230 Energy Points.

Without hesitation, he immediately invested 200 Points.

[You have invested 200 Points of High-level Energy in the evolution of your Special Physique, Spirit Body.]

[You felt the presence of mysterious energy around you and suddenly seemed to have formed a deeper connection with it. You seemed to have comprehended something extraordinary, and your Spirit Body started evolving.]

[You discovered a few elements in the mysterious energy, and they connected to you. Unfortunately, your state was suddenly broken, as if the source of everything had disappeared all of a sudden.]

And then, as if Eryx could suddenly understand the energy surrounding him, he could feel it more clearly now. His body seemed to change and grow stronger. He also started detecting and differentiating elements floating in the air. He also had a feeling that he could absorb elemental energies into his body, however, they would do no good for the time being.

The evolution of Special Physique failed due to lack of energy. He knew he needed more energy, maybe more than 500 points for the evolution of a special physique.

[Eryx Xylaris]

[Cultivation: Seventh Layer of Qi Refining]

[Physique: Pseudo Elemental Spirit Body]

[Bloodline: None]

[Cultivation Technique: Flowing Vitality Breathing Technique]

[Skills: None]

[Energy: 30]

Eryx noticed his physique, although failed to evolve, still changed. It changed from a Spirit Body to a Pseudo-Elemental Spirit Body.

It is no wonder he could feel the presence of elements in the air around him and even had a feeling of absorbing them inside his body.

Although the Elemental Spirit Body is not complete, without a doubt, it is better than the previous Spirit Body.

"I have to learn a concealing skill to hide my cultivation. Otherwise, I won't be able to progress much even if I have tens of thousands of Energy Points."

Eryx immediately decided to ask Lin Ning'er whether she had such a skill to give him or not.

.....

The next day, Lin Ning'er was surprised again. Eryx's cultivation truly rose from the Fourth Layer to the Seventh Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm.

This time, she had no choice but to believe that there was definitely something special about Eryx. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate this quickly with only a basic cultivation method. Furthermore, he actually used up all the Spirit Stones again.

This is definitely not normal.

Eryx kept standing silently. He didn't speak and let Lin Ning'er's thoughts run wild.

On the other side, Lin Ning'er calmed her thoughts and said, "Help me pluck a few herbs. Here is the list. I'm going to refine a few pills. You can watch if you want."

Eryx nodded and then helped Lin Ning'er pluck a few herbs. Then both of them went to the Alchemy Room where Lin Ning'er started to sort out the ingredients necessary for refining pills.

Eryx just watched from the side.

He saw what ingredients she chose, how she processed them, and more.

Lin Ning'er didn't explain much. She only said, "The pill I'm refining is called Heavenly Gold Pill. The Heavenly Gold Pill is a rare and potent pill designed to aid a cultivator in successfully forming a flawless Golden Core. It significantly increases the chances of not only turning a stable core into a near-perfect Golden Core, but it also balances the flow of energy."

"Be it pills or weapons, they are divided into several ranks according to cultivation realms. The Heavenly Gold Pill is a Third Rank Pill since it is only helpful for those in the Core Formation Realm, who are about to transform their core into Golden Core. Of course, its rarity makes this pill extremely valuable."

Lin Ning'er knew Eryx was just a beginner and didn't know much about cultivation and its branches. Since she wanted his help in looking after the Medicinal Herb, she didn't mind teaching him one thing or two about pills and alchemy.

Eryx also listened well and watched the entire refinement process.

In the end, when Lin Ning'er opened the furnace, five pills flew out. She showed those pills to Eryx and said, "No Pill Refiner can guarantee 100% success in pill refinement. I am no exception. Look at these three black pills. These pills are total failures. I only succeeded in refining two Heavenly Gold Pills out of five."

"Throw them away!"

With that, she gave Eryx three failed Heavenly Gold Pills to throw, only for Eryx to be stunned.

The moment these failed pills came in contact with his hand, a notification immediately appeared before his eyes.

⟪Failed Heavenly Gold Pill: 300 Points⟫

There were three pills in his hand, each valued at 100 points.

It has to be known that these are only failed pills. How many Energy Points can a complete pill provide?

"Should I ask Miss Ning'er for a pill, only to touch a little?"

Eryx resisted his thoughts and took deep breaths, immediately extracting the Energy Points. The three failed pills turned to powder before dissipating in thin air. As for Eryx, there were now 330 Energy Points in his account.

He was now sure that his Pseudo Elemental Spirit Body could evolve into a true Elemental Spirit Body.

Hesitating for a while, he said, "Miss Ning'er, please give me the failed pills you will refine in the future. I will throw them away."

Lin Ning'er turned to Eryx and misunderstood that Eryx was asking her to call him when refining pills. As for taking the failed pills, they were just a 'reason' he thought of.

Eryx could see a hint of doubt in her eyes, but he didn't mind. The more she misunderstood; the better things will be for him.

"Ok," Lin Ning'er nodded and walked away.

As for Eryx, he returned to his room and immediately invested 300 Points in the evolution of his physique.

As expected, this time, his Pseudo physique successfully evolved into an Elemental Spirit Body.

Eryx was again left with 30 Points of energy points.
