Greatly Increased System Rewards
After returning to his cave abode, Lu Yang first completed his two daily tasks: reading and cultivation.
He then continued to guide Jiang Shiqing in understanding the True Explanation of the Azure Waves.
After all, this involves random tasks, so we can't be careless.
It must be said that the effects of Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves are truly amazing.
With her comprehension enhanced tenfold, the Cultivation Method techniques that were originally obscure and difficult for Jiang Shiqing to understand now became clear and transparent. She could not only quickly understand Lu Yang's explanations, but also draw inferences from them and offer some insights that even Lu Yang found surprising.
Her progress in True Explanation of the Azure Waves was almost daily.
On the evening of the third day, Jiang Shiqing sat cross-legged on a futon, with pale blue Water Dao- like Spiritual Qi flowing slowly around her like a stream.
She placed her hands in a mudra on her knees, her eyes closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Suddenly, her spiritual Spiritual Qi surged, and a faint sound of waves lapping against the shore could be heard in the air.
The True Explanation of the Azure Waves: An Introduction
The moment Jiang Shiqing entered the room, the information about Jiang Shiqing on the panel changed.
The random task has been completed.
Lu Yang immediately accepted the reward.
[Hongyan (Jiang Shiqing) completes the random task: Learn the True Explanation of the Azure Waves.]
[Host gains: Universal Experience +2000, Cultivation Method Experience +20000, Law Technique Experience +20000, 50,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones ]
[The beauty (Jiang Shiqing) gains: Intelligence +0.2, Constitution +0.1, Fortune Trait: Entering the Dao through Water Sounds]
Lu Yang's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the reward.
What a generous reward!
It's unclear whether it's due to the increased rewards after the system upgrade, the inherently high difficulty of the task, or a combination of both.
The rewards this time are incredibly generous.
For him personally, he gained a full 2000 points of Universal Experience!
This is one and a half times more than the 800 points Lin Ying earned when she completed the second-tier pill-making task!
If every random task after that has such a high Universal Experience reward, then he only needs to complete more than forty more tasks to directly upgrade his Spirit Root from top-grade to super-grade!
In addition to Universal Experience, I also gained a full 20,000 experience points each in Cultivation Method Experience and Law Technique Experience.
This is also several times the reward Lin Ying received when she completed the random task before!
The Spirit Stone reward is also substantial: 50,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to a full five million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!
Keep in mind, this is just a random task!
Of course, Jiang Shiqing's reward was also quite good.
Her intelligence increased by a full 0.2, which was enough to greatly enhance Jiang Shiqing's comprehension!
Not only that, but their physical condition also improved by 0.1.
While it might not be enough to grant Jiang Shiqing a physique like a body cultivator, it would at least allow her to last a few more rounds during dual cultivation, right?
Finally, I also obtained a Fortune Trait.
Lu Yang clicked to check out out of curiosity.
[Entering the Dao through Water Sounds (Middle Grade)]: The sounds of springs, streams, rain... can all be transformed into Dao sounds to cleanse the mind of worldly dust. Cultivating in places with the sound of water will increase the speed of comprehending Water Dao- Cultivation Method and Law Technique by 40%.
Lu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.
This Fortune Trait is really strong.
Although it doesn't directly increase combat power, improving Cultivation Method and Law Technique can be considered an indirect way to increase combat power.
Jiang Shiqing had just gained 0.2 intelligence, and with the addition of the Entering the Dao through Water Sounds and the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves, she was further enhanced.
Her comprehension is probably comparable to that of those geniuses with good comprehension, right?
After Lu Yang chose to claim the reward, an invisible ray of light flew out and quietly entered Jiang Shiqing's brow.
The next moment, Jiang Shiqing suddenly froze.
She opened her eyes, a hint of confusion and surprise flashing in them, and raised her hand to touch her forehead.
Lu Yang smiled and looked at her, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Shiqing pursed her red lips, her voice tinged with confusion and bewilderment. "I don't know why... but suddenly my mind feels clear, like... like I've suddenly become smarter."
She paused, her confusion deepening, "And... listening to the sound of the waterfall outside, I feel it calms me down, and even sparks some inspiration in me. It's so strange..."
Lu Yang smiled and pinched Jiang Shiqing's pretty face, his tone casual and gentle. "There's nothing strange about it. It's a good thing for you; it will make it easier for you to comprehend the Cultivation Method next."
Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Jiang Shiqing's delicate body trembled slightly. Then, she stared at Lu Yang with wide eyes, disbelief welling up in her bright eyes. "Young... Young Master... did you do this?"
Lu Yang smiled slightly, "Mm."
Jiang Shiqing's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She pounced on him and wrapped her arms around Lu Yang's neck, her red lips raining down on his cheeks, lips, and neck.
Her movements were passionate and unreserved, as if she wanted to meld herself into his arms.
"Young master is truly a celestial being descended to earth... He can even improve my aptitude!"
You should know that heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can enhance comprehension and talent are extremely expensive!
Just now, Jiang Shiqing didn't even realize what Lu Yang had done; she just felt her comprehension had improved!
Who but an immortal could perform such a feat?
Jiang Shiqing both proud and fortunate.
She was proud to be the young master's personal maid, someone who belonged to him.
The more capable the young master is, the more arrogant she naturally becomes.
Fortunately, back in Taibai Market, I was glad that I followed the old master to offer that cup of wine to the young master, and I was glad that I was chosen by him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have the life she has now.
Every day I can see handsome young men as beautiful as immortals, cultivate Earth Grade Supreme Quality Cultivation Method, and use heavenly materials and earthly treasures like Dao Comprehension Tea!
Even the disciples of the Immortal Sect Holy Land probably don't have as many Cultivation Resources as she does.
"Young master... loves me."
Jiang Shiqing gazed at Lu Yang with eyes as clear as water, her gaze intense.
She didn't want anything right now, she just wanted to die in the young master's arms.
As Lu Yang felt Jiang Shiqing's body gradually heating up, his gaze also became intense.
I have to say, this girl's addiction is really strong!
However, he naturally couldn't stand this provocation and wanted to teach her a lesson.
Two hours later.
Jiang Shiqing had already fallen into a deep sleep, her pretty face still flushed with a lingering blush of contentment.
Lu Yang leaned against the headboard, opened the panel, and added the two thousand Universal Experience he had just acquired to his Spirit Root.
Top-quality (6200/100000)
Almost one-tenth of it.
Let's look at the next task.
He casually clicked on Jiang Shiqing's "Beauty Cultivation" page to check the next random task.
[Random Quest: Learn the four Earth Grade Law Technique of the True Explanation of the Azure Waves. Reward: Unknown]
This task is simple.
With the Dao Comprehension Tea and the Entering the Dao through Water Sounds Fortune Trait, this kind of enlightenment-based task is no longer a challenge for Jiang Shiqing, and she can complete it in no time.
Hmm... I'll go find Yingying tomorrow and ask her about her progress in comprehending Yingying Azure Wood Longevity Art.
Then, I helped Yingying get the basics of the Cultivation Method.
After that, Yingying should break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm soon.
Once Yingying Foundation Establishment, with her alchemy skills, refining High-Grade Origin-Nurturing Pills will be a breeze.
As for the rest of the time, he doesn't seem to have anything else to do lately; he can just focus on his cultivation.
In fact, the 5,000 points of Universal Experience he received as a reward allowed his Spirit Root to break through to the highest grade earlier than expected.
His cultivation speed is now much faster than originally expected.
With Yingying around, there was no shortage of Supreme-Grade Yellow Dragon Pills, and with the added boost of ten times the Spiritual Qi concentration, plus the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon which had already reached its perfect state, his cultivation speed had reached a rather astonishing level.
In addition, he also received cultivation rewards from his two confidantes Lin Ying and Jiang Shiqing, who each had 100 points of favorability with him.
At this rate, he felt that in less than a month, he should be able to reach the Peak Qi Refinement and touch the bottleneck of Foundation Establishment.
This was much faster than he had expected.
As for breaking through the bottleneck itself, with his current foundation and Supreme-Grade Spirit Root, it's naturally not a problem.
He doesn't even need the Foundation Establishment Pill; he's quite confident he can just charge straight in.
If all goes well, it should take a few days to break through the bottleneck and condense the spiritual liquid vortex.
However... having Foundation Establishment Pills would be even better; it's always better to be safe than sorry.
You can just ask the sect to exchange for one bottle later.
As a top sect in Qin Province, the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect certainly wouldn't be short of Foundation Establishment Pills, a basic strategic resource.
