Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 591: Attempting to Breakthrough

Chapter 591: Attempting to Breakthrough

As the devil immortal jade that had only been acting as something to boost his cultivation speed ever since it entered his dantian suddenly moved, Chu Yang let out a surprised sounds as he felt the devil immortal jade forcefully refine the exotic energy still left in his dantian together with the exotic energy he had already finished refining and had just absorbed with his golden core to stabilize his cultivation realm.

"Wha-!?"

The entire thing happened far too quickly for Chu yang to react to what the devil immortal jade was doing, as the moment he recovered from the shock of what had just happened, the devil immortal jade had already finished refining the exotic energy and had returned to its mostly dormant state floating around his dantian.

If not for the fact that he could feel the exotic energy had all been turned into a massive amount of pure qi perfect for absorption, Chu Yang would have thought he had been imagining what had just taken place.

Knowing that he should not waste such an opportunity, Chu Yang didn't think too much over what had just happened and instead focused on directly absorbed all of the pure qi inside his dantian into his golden core for now.

The last thing he wanted, was for the pure qi to disperse while he tried figuring out what had happened to the devil immortal jade. Not to mention, he was not really in a safe location at the moment and could encounter a dangerous situation the moment he left the pagoda.

In such a situation, it was best for him to first stabilize his cultivation base at the Third Stage of the Core Formation Realm and if possible, try to break through to the Fourth Stage of the Core Formation Realm with far stronger pure qi that was now present in his dantian after the help of the devil immortal jade!

Fully intent on trying to breakthrough to the Fourth Stage of the Core Formation Realm, Chu Yang quickly stabilized his cultivation base before starting to attack the barrier to the fourth stage with the help of the pure qi refined from the exotic energy.

Boom!

Attacking the barrier to the Fourth Stage of the Core Formation Realm, Chu Yang very clearly felt that it was way harder to breakthrough compared to when he had tried breaking through to the second and third stage of the Core Formation Realm.

The reason for this was also obvious, as entering the Fourth Stage of the Core Formation Realm was considered as reaching the middle stage of the Core Formation Realm. The increase in strength was far more than what one would experience when going from the First Stage of the Core Formation Realm to the Third Stage!

Hah…

Taking a deep breath as he changed his form of attack to a more continues stream instead of trying to breakthrough through sheer brute force, Chu Yang understood that it would take some time for him to break through the barrier separating the third and fourth stage.

Even if slowly breaking through would require far more time and would also require a large amount of qi to help support him during this, he had more than enough available in his dantian thanks to the help of the immortal devil jade!

Bang-bang-bang!

Continuously attacking the barrier between the third and fourth stage of the Core Formation Realm, Chu Yang had completely shut himself off to the outside world as he remained sitting in a lotus position on the spiral staircase of the pagoda. Not intending to get up again before he had successfully broken through to the Fourth Stage of the Core Formation Realm!

…

Back at the Flying Sword Sect, Xuan Hao carried Song Jia with him and made his way to where Elder Song was recovering from the injuries he had received.

Although he had received some bad injuries and still had to deal with the hidden injuries, he had received from extracting his own lifespan, Xuan Hao could already see that the old man had hidden the fact that he was in a bad condition.

Even he had a hard time realizing the old man was injured without trying to find out!

Not knowing how useful this would be against Song Jia, Xuan Hao could not help shaking his head. The ability of Song Jia's eyes was simply terrifying and there was a chance that she might see through Elder Song's attempt to hide his injuries.

However, even knowing this, Xuan Hao still planned to take her to see him. After all, not only did Song Jia want to show off the fact that she had properly taken her medicine, but Elder Song also wanted to make sure that she was fine.

After all, he should know how painful it was for Song Jia every time she had consumed the demonic medicinal potion.

At this point in time, Elder Song still had no idea that Song Jia had consumed a completely different potion that allowed her to lose consciousness during the time that the suppression of her disease took place.

Thinking about it like this, Elder Song most likely wanted to see his granddaughter as quickly as possible so he could personally make sure she was fine…

Swish~

Not taking too long to travel to the small, isolated courtyard where Elder Song was slowly recovering, Xuan Hao landed on the ground a short distance away from where the old man was sitting.

"Grandpa!"

The moment he landed on the ground and let her down on the ground, Song Jia rapidly sprinted over to the old man while calling out to him. Immediately alerting the old man meditating of their presence.

"Song Jia?!" Showing a slightly shocked expression on his face for a split second after seeing Song Jia suddenly appearing, Elder Song quickly recovered after realizing Xuan Hao was also there as well.

In such a situation, it did not take long for the old man to put two and two together and understand what was happening.

"…"

Watching from the side as the old man and his granddaughter happily began talking with each other about what had happened during the time Song Jia had spent in Zu Fei's pavilion along with the fact that she had taken her medicine without feeling the slightest bit of pain in the process, Xuan Hao could not help smiling as he saw the expression on Elder Song's face.

To be honest, Elder Song's expression when he heard about her not feeling any pain after taking her medicine was rather funny, as the old man had clearly not thought Xuan Hao would actually succeed in making a substitute for the demonic medicinal potion in such a short period of time.

"Ah! Elder Xuan, I'm sorry for neglecting you like this… I was a little too excited to see my dear granddaughter earlier. Normally she would not be in such a great condition after taking the potion and I-"

"It's fine, I just came here to deliver your granddaughter after all, there is no need to mind me. Now that I think about it, I actually have something different to inform you about that I happened to discover on my way back to the sect." Stopping Elder Song before he could continue, Xuan Hao switched the subject as he still wanted to inform Elder Song about the spirit stone mine that he had found out about from the system reward.

"Hm? What is it?" Not realizing that Xuan Hao had suddenly changed the direction of the conversation, Elder Song asked this in a curious tone.

"Yes, what is it!?" Song Jia also followed Elder Song over, as she asked in a similarly curious way Elder Song had. The only difference between the two, was that Song Jia was very clearly asking in a far more excited tone.

In a sense, it felt like she was expecting Xuan Hao to pull out a gift of some sort the next moment…

"Ahm… It's like this, I happened to chance upon a spirit stone mine located only a short distance away from the Shattered Star Peaks and…" As he started talking about the spirit stone mine, the curious expression on Elder Song's face slowly became one filled with excitement.

"For there to be such a large spirit stone mine and just next to our future sect location! I really can't imagine how lucky we are that you found something like that Elder Xuan! It will surely be able to help when it comes to-"

Listening as Elder Song excitedly talking about all the things that would be possible with the spirit stones that could be gained from the spirit stone mine, Xuan Hao could not help smiling wryly before glancing towards Song Jia standing on the side with a disappointed expression on her face.

"A spirit stone mine…? Can it be eaten?"

She was not all too thrilled hearing about a spirit stone mine being discovered…
