The difficulty of cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual was clearly somewhat different from Jin Yu's expectations.
He had originally estimated that it would take several years.
However, perhaps because receiving the inheritance had altered his physical traits, he seemed to be even more compatible with the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, making his cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.
"After a year and a half, I finally succeeded!" Jin Yu felt his surging strength and was still shaken by it.
