Chapter 78: Time Flies, Realm Improvement

Jia Nan Academy, Inner Academy.

Inside a room, a figure sitting on a bed was in a cultivation posture with his eyes closed.

There was a mist of heaven and earth energy around him, which was absorbed into his body as his chest rose and fell.

After a long while, the mist gradually dissipated, the figure opened his eyes and a calm sentence with a hint of helplessness came out of his mouth.

"It's already been six years and my cultivation realm has only reached eight-star Dou King, am I not a little slow?"

Although Xiao Ming's words were extremely serious, if the elders of Jia Nan Academy heard them, they would probably be angry to death.

If this is called slow, what would theirs be called?

They had been cultivating for their entire lives and were only six to seven-star Dou King, but Xiao Ming wasn't even an adult yet, and his realm was already higher than most of them. If that's too slow, did he expect to go straight to Dou God?

Of course, they would say that because they didn't understand Xiao Ming's cultivation experience, since he started cultivating at the age of four, more than ten years had passed.

His cultivation speed in the first four years could be described as riding a rocket.

He had crossed four realms in four years, but then only two realms in the next six years. For him, who was used to fast progress, he would surely be dissatisfied with the slowdown.

But there was nothing that could be done about the slow cultivation.

Even with the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower in the Inner Academy, this was inevitable.

This was because the effect of the Fallen Heart Flame was extremely effective for the Dou Spirit and below.

However, after the high star Dou Spirit, the effect of accelerated cultivation basically began to decline significantly.

When the strength reaches the peak of Dou Spirit, this kind of wisp flame will mainly serve to solidify Dou Qi, the accelerating cultivation effect is difficult to tell.

The reason is that it is very difficult to breakthrough to Dou King.

The Dou King realm is a turning point for the strongest people on the continent, and it is so difficult to breakthrough to this realm that only a few Dou Kings can emerge from a hundred peak Dou Spirit, so to speak.

Most people remain stuck for years before breaking through.

If they want to breakthrough to Dou King by relying on this ordinary wisp flame of Fallen Heart Flame, they are completely deluded.

The only way to pave the way is to use the original Heart Flame from the Fallen Heart Flame to forge the body.

It can be said that peaks Dou Spirit can no longer gain too much benefit in Jia Nan Academy.

The reason why the peaks Dou Spirit at the top of the Strong Ranking remain in the academy is because of the benefit of the top ten places in the Strong Ranking, the forging of one's body by the source of the Heart Flame.

Without the forging of the source of the Heart Flame, once they finish the five years at the Inner Academy, they will most likely simply pack up and go home.

The difficulty of reaching the peak Dou Spirit was also the main reason why Xiao Ming had only advanced two major realms in six years.

Once he was there, he had stayed on peak Dou Spirit for eight months.

It cannot be said that he stayed eight months, at most he stayed half a year, and the two months after that was the time to go into seclusion and make a breakthrough.

Although it was normal to get stuck at the peak Dou Spirit, Xiao Ming guessed that he got stuck for the reason of breaking through too quickly earlier.

Leaving aside the eight months he stayed in the peak Dou Spirit.

After Xiao Ming made his way to Dou King, he discovered that the gain he received from the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower was getting smaller and smaller.

Although that was also faster compared to cultivating on his own, it was no longer much faster.

This made Xiao Ming a little dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it.

It wasn't hard to understand when one thought about it, after all, Fallen Heart Flame was sealed in Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

It was a self-aware existence, and they had it locked up using it for others to cultivate every day.

They also secretly collect the source of the Heart Flame every year, would it really actively emit a wisp flame strong enough for one to continue cultivating?

Xiao Ming guessed that, if one wanted to have a significant cultivation effect on a Dou King realm, one would have to possess the source of a Fallen Heart Flame infant flame.

However, it was best not to think about that, to have the ability to take something like that, he might as well take Fallen Heart Flame instead.

Of course, there was another reason for Xiao Ming's slow cultivation, and that was the improvement of his alchemy skills.

Since his master, Elder Huo, said he could no longer teach him, his alchemy skills had improved mainly on his own.

The difference between having someone teach him skills and discovering them on his own was obvious, wasn't it?

The difficulty doubles and so do the resources consumed.

Improving his alchemy skill itself was a time-consuming affair, and the time Xiao Ming spent was not small, naturally.

Luckily, Xiao Ming's time was very well spent.

Now his alchemy skills had surpassed his master, Elder Huo.

He had become the only sixth-tier alchemist at the Jia Nan Academy.

Due to the Green Soul Fruit and the breakthrough in his own Dou Qi realm, Xiao Ming's soul realm had also reached the completion of the Mortal Realm.

It could be said that Xiao Ming's gains in these six years were mainly the increase in his alchemist tier, rather than the increase in his Dou Qi cultivation realm.

After all, a sixth-tier alchemist could already be said to be a higher-level existence in the surrounding empires.

When viewed throughout the Dou Continent, the sixth tier was not considered low.

The current Xiao Ming had also graduated from the Jia Nan Academy a long time ago and currently held the position of Elder in the Alchemy Department and the Inner Academy.

In these six years or so, Xiao Ming had also performed a good number of simulations, some of which he had missed due to his seclusion.

However, there were still more than three hundred simulations that he was able to carry out in time.

Not to mention the low-level items obtained, the ones that were valuable to him at present were:

8 seventh-tier pill recipes and 2 eighth-tier pill recipes.

10 fifth-tier pill recipes.

A series of fifth-tier pills.

Sixth-tier pills: 7 Fighting Spirit Pills, 4 Mighty Huang Pills, and 2 Zong Breaking Pills.

2 seventh-tier pills, Life Devouring Pill.

Two-colored eighth-tier pill, Evergreen Pill (This pill increases life expectancy by 100 years).

Two-colored eighth-tier pill, Fungus Green Pill, (Able to restore most of the strength of a Dou Venerate, who has suffered a great loss of strength).

1 seventh-rank Sea Demon Beast corpse, 1 eighth-rank thunder attribute magic core.

Intermediate-Level Qi Method, Di Class, "Three Beast Savage Skill".

Intermediate-Level Flying Dou Technique, Di Class, "Nine-Level Wings of the Heavenly Goose".

Experience card for the Qi Method, "Three Beast Savage Skill", experience card for the Flying Dou Technique, "Nine-Level Wings of the Heavenly Goose".

Low-Level dark attribute Dou Technique, Tian Class, "Heavenly Shadow Decision".

"Flame Creation Skill" of the Demon Flame Valley.

High-Level Dou Technique, Di Class, "Four Hells Sword Formation".

Low-Level Sound Wave Dou Technique, Di Class, "Song of the Snow Dragon".

Intermediate-Level Dou Technique, Di Class, "Blood Soul Skill".

Low-Level Movement Dou Technique, Di Class, "Illusion of the Five Elements".

Low-Level Evolvable Qi Method, Huang Class, "Flame Mantra".

Medicinal Cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking: Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron.

High-level Storage Ring: Star Ring

4 sets of precious swords, an armor made of exotic ice crystals from the body of a seventh-rank magical beast with ice attributes.

The complete map of the Nether Poison Flame.

The wonder of Heaven and Earth of Ice Attribute, the Cold Ice Marrow (slightly more advanced than Green Rock Mystic Water, by letting the spirit devour it, the spirit gains the ice attribute), a Seventh Rank Beast Flame.

Precious medicinal herbs: Body Transformation Grass, two herbs, Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva...

Talent: Special ability to sense rare medicinal ingredients (From Zi Yan).

With three hundred draws, to have obtained these things, Xiao Ming could only say that his luck was not too bad.

Who made the simulator randomly select things?

Xiao Ming had even encountered a situation where at the end of the simulation, the draw gave a choice between a green herb, a gold coin, and a piece of Zi Yan's clothes.

At that moment, he choked and finally chose a gold coin with tears in his eyes.

Thinking about how many times this kind of situation had happened, Xiao Ming could not help but shake his head.

A/N:

This was by far the chapter that took me the longest time to finish, I was still changing things until yesterday, however, I hope it is good enough, if there are any mistakes, especially in the first part, you can point them out in the paragraph comments.

A clarification, thanks to IncarnationOfFate for noticing it, I took the time to investigate and indeed, the Nether Poison Flame appears in the BTTH mobile game, ranking 20th in the Heavenly Flame Ranking and its description is the same as the one shown in this story.

We start Volume 3: Cause & Effect, which will be the longest volume so far (approximately 200 chapters), and yes, with the name you can get an idea of what it will be about.
