Su Hao appeared once again outside the Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peaks, feeling refreshed and clear-headed. The plethora of books and data recorded in the pinball space also filled Su Hao’s inner self with a sense of fulfillment.
“I’ve gained a lot today, so I should keep up the good work!”
After some thought, Su Hao sent a message to Yashan: “Yashan, there are some extra spirit grass in the warehouse. Take some time to research with those students on how to cultivate them. Plant them in the small basin in front of the experimental base. I’ve already set up an array to isolate it. I’ve sent you the method to deactivate the array. Remember: do not enter the mist!”
After sending the message, Su Hao leaped up, two thin wings extending behind him, and flew off into the distance.
“It is said that not far from here, there is a great immortal sect called the Six Paths Alchemy Gate. They were recently robbing the senior brothers and sisters on the Guangming Sea. Now it’s time to demand some elixirs!”
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Apart from the most special Lingshan Continent, almost the entire cultivation world was no longer as calm as before.
Previously, it was superficially calm, but now, not only were there intense internal movements, but even the surface was no longer calm.
The fundamental reason was the sudden appearance of a four-meter tall, handsome, but extremely rogue crystal-armored person!
Normally, a cultivator who had just broken through to the Golden Core Realm needed to concentrate on transforming spiritual energy and stabilizing their cultivation for one or two years.
However, Su Hao was exactly the opposite. Shortly after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, he eagerly traveled all over the world.
Not only did he travel, but he also caused great trouble to the major sects, causing chaos in the entire cultivation world, terrifying everyone. Every day, they stared at their treasures, afraid that a crystal-armored person would suddenly appear and steal them.
Of course, Su Hao didn’t have the time and energy to visit all the sects in the world. He just selected some sects that he could encounter by chance and entered them for a stroll.
But every sect visited by Su Hao was in a panic, offering a hefty reward for his capture! They swore to crush the crystal-armored person into powder, accompanied by a rough sketch of the crystal-armored person and a description of the crimes he had committed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt first, it wasn’t a big deal, but as time passed, more and more top sects suffered, and the “kill order” spread. Everyone realized the seriousness of the problem!
It was uncertain which sect would be the next to suffer!
So most sects immediately reacted by transferring valuable items, posting guards daily, and not daring to relax in the slightest!
And the name of Su Hao, the “Crystal Thief,” spread throughout the entire cultivation world!
“He comes without a trace, leaves without a trace, and wherever he goes, no grass can grow!” Everyone shivered at the thought.
At this moment, it’s feared that if Su Hao just transformed into a [Child of Fate] outside, he would immediately be recognized!
Not only Su Hao, if Yashan also transformed into a “Earth Lord”, there would probably be a risk of being mistaken!
However, Su Hao was unaware of how the outside world was spreading the name “Crystal Thief”. After obtaining enough elixirs, which was two months later, he returned to the experimental base in Yunzhong Valley.
“The elixirs are enough! Next, I’ll focus on cultivation and strive to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.”
Not only had he prepared the elixirs for the Golden Core stage, but he had also prepared the elixirs for after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage! There was no need to worry about running out of elixirs anymore!
Su Hao never liked to deal with problems in batches; he preferred to solve them all at once because that would not distract his attention.
He understood a principle: to accomplish something, one must learn to allocate their “attention” properly, because the importance of “attention” to a person far exceeds imagination. Basically, wherever your attention is, that’s where your world is!
If attention is too scattered, everything will be done but nothing will succeed. Conversely, if one grasps the profound meaning of “I only do one thing well today,” it’s easy to achieve a high level of accomplishment in a certain field.
This had always been Su Hao’s code of conduct. He rarely studied different things at the same time. Most of the time, he was exceptionally focused!
Do the most important and urgent thing at hand!
After returning to the experimental base, Su Hao first checked the material data organized by Yashan during this period, as well as the situation of cultivating the spirit grass. Finding no major issues, he returned to the meditation room, activated the protective array, and began to meditate and transform spiritual energy!
“Strive to reach the Golden Core stage perfection within half a year, and then break through to the Nascent Soul stage!”
Su Hao reached out and grabbed handfuls of bottles and jars, quickly filling the empty space in front of him.
He randomly picked up a bottle, opened it, identified it, and murmured, “This is the Ascending Yuan Pill, which accelerates the conversion of spiritual energy, not bad!”
Then he poured it all into his mouth.
After throwing away the empty bottle, he picked up another bottle to identify it: “This is the Gold Return Pill, which assists in breaking through to the Golden Core stage, barely usable!”
Then he poured it all into his mouth again.
Then Su Hao swallowed five bottles of elixirs in one go before closing his eyes and entering a state of meditation.
Soon, a smile crept up on Su Hao’s lips.
“Indeed, now the cultivation speed is starting to look like something!”
The amount of spiritual energy in Su Hao’s body visibly increased, and only when one could see the skyrocketing amount of spiritual energy every day could it be considered cultivation.
For this kind of energy that cannot be taken away after death, Su Hao found it really hard to convince himself to spend more than ten years of precious time slowly accumulating it! The key is that during the accumulation, he can’t be distracted by other things, which is somewhat troublesome.
“In the s I’ve read before, the protagonists almost always experience extreme pleasure from cultivation. But for me, it doesn’t work that way. Instead of pleasure, it’s all agony!”
“Perhaps, after I thoroughly research the secrets of spiritual energy, I can obtain immense spiritual power without having to cultivate!”
For example, cultivating an apple tree that can bear pure ‘wind attribute spiritual power’ fruits, taking a bite would instantly replenish the spiritual power of a cultivator who has just entered the Golden Core stage.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOr cultivating a peach tree that can bear ‘complete spiritual core structure’ fruits, eating one would automatically allow a Qi Induction stage cultivator to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
In this way, the problem of Su Hao’s dilemma in transforming spiritual energy would no longer be a problem! And the cultivators in this world could also free up a lot of time to research more uses for spiritual energy and develop more advanced spiritual energy technology.
“Worth a try!”
Su Hao gathered all his attention and focused on transforming spiritual energy! He had been a bit too aggressive with the elixirs just now, and if it weren’t for the ‘Superior Spiritual Qi Wave’ rune under Su Hao’s buttocks operating at full capacity, a lot of it would have been wasted!
However, who made him grasp more techniques? While others worry about wasting one small pill at a time, he wouldn’t. He, Su Hao, doesn’t waste!
As Su Hao’s spiritual power accumulated more and more, five months later, the spiritual power in his body almost reached the point of overflowing, giving him a heavy feeling like an inflated balloon.
There was a faint pressure on his body, making Su Hao understand that he had already reached the perfection of the second stage, ‘Full Chamber’, of the Golden Core stage!
“Phew—”
Su Hao opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath. “Finally, the accumulation of spiritual power is complete!”
Glancing at the mountain of empty bottles in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel a bit nauseated: “Taking too many elixirs also makes me feel a bit nauseous!”
He now felt like a medicine jar, emitting a strong medicinal scent all over his body! If he continued to take medicine, he was afraid he would turn into a ‘medicine spirit’!
Su Hao got up and stretched his stiff body, transformed into a [Child of Fate], performed a full-body repair on himself, then exited the Diamond Armor state and sat down again.
“Now the amount of spiritual power is sufficient, but the control is slightly lacking. So, I’ll continue to cultivate the third level of the Golden Core stage, ‘Wheel Core’, and thoroughly turn this huge spiritual power into my own!”
Just a moment later, Su Hao entered cultivation state again, constantly using his mental power to refine the spiritual power in his body, enhancing the compatibility between his mental power and spiritual power!
Under the powerful manipulation of his mental power, the huge spiritual power in Su Hao’s body gradually circulated within him, passing through the Five Organ Spiritual Power Core Grand Circulation over and over again, and was transformed into wind attribute spiritual power.
And then, it was completely under Su Hao’s control!
