After Shen Xuanwei broke through to the Martial Spring Realm, he soon discovered a problem.
The Azure Phoenix Sect's cultivation method seemed somewhat strange.
Whenever Shen Xuanwei used the Azure Phoenix Sect's method to absorb the spiritual energy contained within spirit stones, he always felt considerable resistance.
And as the spiritual energy within the spirit stones met that resistance, large amounts of it began to dissipate.
As a result, he could absorb less than thirty percent of the spiritual energy within the spirit stones.
Was there any way to change this?
That was what Shen Xuanwei wondered.
He soon began putting his ideas to the test.
While using the Azure Phoenix Sect's cultivation method, he began trying to modify some of its true qi circulation patterns in a more rational way.
In just seven days, Shen Xuanwei raised his spiritual energy absorption efficiency from thirty percent to seventy percent.
Then, over the next three months, Shen Xuanwei raised it from seventy percent to ninety percent.
He continued experimenting with further changes afterward, but the improvements became negligible.
But that was enough.
It meant that when Shen Xuanwei cultivated using spirit stones, even without taking his own cultivation aptitude into account, his cultivation efficiency could reach roughly three times that of an ordinary Immortal Cultivator.

Yet to some extent, his cultivation speed also put
