The Prodigies War

Chapter 379 Improving Every Day

The strong support of the North Light Lin Clan undoubtedly brought astonishing benefits to Mind Cleansing Peak.

Mind Cleansing Peak had changed tremendously. It was buzzing like never before.

The Alchemy Workshop had gained another thirty apprentices, all of whom were from the North Light Lin Clan. Although they were young, they were swift and knew all the required technical skills. Blood Thorn no longer had to worry about miscellaneous tasks and could concentrate fully on cultivating medicinal aeth plants and alchemy-related tasks.

The apprentices had huge potential and could become true alchemy masters with the proper training.

Most importantly, they all had the surname Lin and were from the Lin Clan. In other words, they were more trustworthy and reliable than other people.

In the Blacksmith Workshop, there was also a group of new apprentices helping Yang Ling. The division of work was very detailed. Some were responsible for purchasing rune materials, and some selected and smelted rune materials. Yang Ling only had to issue orders; therefore he could free up time to concentrate on forging weapons.

Old Diao had already repaired all the neglected rune arrays around Mind Cleansing Peak with his superb rune skills. Previously, he had to take care of each of the rune arrays’ operations and maintenance due to a lack of manpower, but now he could leave such trivial tasks to the subordinates.

However, Old Diao didn’t rest. He was a rune master so he threw himself into helping Yang Ling and immediately began to help refine aeth tools.

Every few days, the Alchemy Workshop produced a new batch of aeth medicine. Some were kept for personal usage, but the rest were sold to Stone Cauldron Alms.

Similarly, the Blacksmith Workshop cooperated with Stone Cauldron Alms, so they didn’t have to worry about their sales.

According to Spirit Vulture’s daily accounts, the Alchemy Workshop and Blacksmith Workshop brought an income of thirty thousand gold coins to Mind Cleansing Peak every month.

The numbers might seem small, but this was only the beginning. As they steadily increased their production, the benefits would also increase.

This was the reason why Spirit Vulture went to great lengths to recruit Blood Thorn, Yang Ling and Old Diao.

They were equivalent to money-making trees for Mind Cleansing Peak and could guarantee a steady income.

Now that they had money, they could easily recruit troops and expand their forces.

In addition, the beast farm on Mind Cleansing Peak reopened. They now had special beast-taming masters to take care of the rune birds and rune beasts that the North Light Lin Clan had sent over.

When Lin Xun first arrived at Mind Cleansing Peak, he didn’t even have a carriage and had to rent one. But it was completely different now. The rune birds and rune beasts they raised could be used as transport. Everything was much more convenient.

The North Light Lin Clan had also sent over a group of maids and servants to serve at Mind Cleansing Peak.

If a clan or sect wanted to rise, they needed talents in all aspects and that wasn’t a simple matter.

Mind Cleansing Peak was no longer barren and was slowly being transformed.

Naturally, Spirit Vulture was the one responsible for this as he had provided invaluable strategy and advice.

Lin Xun only had to make a decision, and Spirit Vulture completed the rest beautifully.

Of course, the most important thing now was that Mind Cleansing Peak had money and was building its own power.

According to Spirit Vulture’s plan, this was just the beginning. Many matters still had to be done to help Mind Cleansing Peak rise and restore its former glory.

For example, setting new rules.

For example, forming an elite battle unit belonging to the Lin Family!

After all, they couldn’t expect Lin Xun to charge into any conflict that arose and deal with it. If that was the case, the successor of the Lin Family would be exhausted to death.

Simply speaking, Mind Cleansing Peak was rapidly being restored to its former state, but at the same time, there were still many problems to be taken care of.

Lin Xun didn’t need to worry about these things with Spirit Vulture handling everything.

He felt much more relaxed now that he had handed over the financial power to Lin Zhong and the strategic planning to Spirit Vulture.

However, he didn’t just sit around and do nothing. In addition to cultivating every day, he patrolled Mind Cleansing Peak with Jiujiu.

He was elated to see Mind Cleansing Peak operating in an orderly manner and showing signs of thriving.

It felt like a seedling that he had carefully cultivated was sprouting and growing. It filled him with hope.

……

Time flew by. One month had passed since his duel with Hua Wuyou.

That night, Lin Xun meditated and cultivated as usual.

His back was straight as a spear, and his body was shrouded in a dreamy lavender glow.

In his sea of qi, a vast sea of aeth power was surging turbulently and producing thunderous roars.

Above the sea of aeth power was a mysterious spectacle of the sun and moon reflecting each other and stars surrounding them in the sky.

In the center of the aeth power sea was a storm vortex roaring into the sky, setting off thousands of waves and stretching across the sky and sea!

This was the sea of aeth power that Lin Xun had opened up after breaking through to the Spirit Sea Stage. It was magnificent and indescribably mysterious.

It represented a transcendent talent and was different from an ordinary cultivator’s aeth power sea.

Average cultivators would never be able to open up a sea of aeth power that could compare with Lin Xun in terms of scale and depth!

Nor would they see any spectacle in their aeth sea!

Only a talent such as Lin Xun who had a terrifying foundation could form such a spectacle when he broke through to the Spirit Sea Stage.

Chi Cangfeng was only thirteen years old when he broke through to the Spirit Sea Stage, but his Violet Sea Golden Lotus bloodline allowed him to create the magnificent spectacle of a rainbow piercing through the sky and purple air rushing in from the east!

It was precisely because of that that Chi Cangfeng became one of the most dazzling talents in the Forbidden City at such a young age.

He had achieved second place in the national examination and was accepted into Qinglu Academy.

However, if one compared the two, one would find that the spectacle that Lin Xun had produced in his aeth power sea was much more special and mysterious.

The sun and the moon had hung high in the sky, and stars guarded them. Moreover, a storm vortex was rushing into and stretching across the sky!

It was a grand spectacle.

Lin Xun didn’t lose to Hua Wuyou despite their difference in cultivation level because the foundation of his aeth sea was too extraordinary.

Rumble—

As Lin Xun circulated the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture, his body produced thunderous rumbles as though sacred mountains were colliding inside him. His blood and qi were tumbling around his body, and every inch of his muscles was being tempered. He was undergoing a huge transformation.

In his mind, the obscure and inexplicably clear voice reciting the Chaotic Void Dao Scripture was constantly echoing. He sank into a trance-like state and lost himself. His cultivation speed was significantly improved in that state.

Two hours later.

He snapped awake from his meditative state, but his brows were furrowed in bewilderment.

I’ve improved so quickly!

He had only broken through to the Spirit Sea Stage two months ago, but his cultivation was rapidly improving every day. There were even signs that he was about to break through to the intermediate Spirit Sea Stage!

Other cultivators would be wild with joy to see such incredible cultivation progress.

However, Lin Xun found the rapid change difficult to handle, which made him realize something was wrong.

It was as though a child had suddenly gained the power of an adult. Not only would it be difficult to control the new power, but the child could also easily hurt themselves.

Lin Xun drew a deep breath and began to examine himself.

After a long moment, the corners of his lips curved into a strange, bitter smile. He understood the reason.

There wasn’t a problem with his cultivation foundation. In fact, the cultivation resources he possessed were too heaven-defying.

First of all, his cultivation foundation was incomparably strong, and his aeth sea had produced a transcendent spectacle. He had an incomparable advantage over other people.

Originally, the stronger one’s cultivation foundation, the more difficult it was for one’s cultivation to progress. However, that wasn’t the case for Lin Xun. The Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture he cultivated was a mysterious cultivation art that he inherited from the Omega Secret Realm. It was mysterious, unpredictable, and extremely domineering during cultivation. It had the ability to devour the world and possessed terrifying refining power.

Lin Xun wouldn’t have been able to handle such a domineering cultivation method if not for his extremely strong foundation.

Additionally, the obscure Dao sound from the Chaotic Void Dao Scripture constantly echoed in his mind during cultivation and made him completely lose himself while cultivating. As a result, it greatly improved his speed, so one day of cultivation was now equivalent to his usual ten days.

Moreover, every time he cultivated, he consumed a Snow Infant Jade Ginseng, a top aeth medicine. Its marvelous medicinal power hugely supported his cultivation.

Based on that, it was normal that his cultivation improved so quickly. It would be strange if it didn’t.

Having understood that, Lin Xun felt a lot more at ease. The more you hurry, the less progress you are likely to make.

He knew that his failure to truly control his constantly changing powers was due to his state of mind not being tempered enough.

However, how do I temper it?

As he pondered, he walked out of the training room and stepped out of Mind Cleansing Hall.

It was deep at night. The sky was clear and full of stars, the night wind was breezy, and the clouds and mist floated dreamily. A unique aroma of grass and trees pervaded the air.

Huh?

Lin Xun inadvertently glanced around and noticed Spirit Vulture sitting alone in a wheelchair and gazing up at the night sky.

It’s so late, what is Spirit Vulture doing here?
