Wu Tao was in an excellent mood.
Although he had not captured a single Origin Spirit that day, controlling three Nascent Soul Level 9 cultivators from the Blood Sect with the Life-Strangling Lock was equivalent to having six Level 9 Origin Spirits.
Taking the Level 9 Origin Spirit Xiang Ziheng had handed over, he soon arrived in a quiet area, descended, and began setting up a Fourth-Rank Defensive Formation.
He would first devour and refine this Level 9 Origin Spirit into cultivation.
Sitting cross-legged on the prayer mat, Wu Tao soon began circulating the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Capital Spirit Preserving Method and started refining this Level 9 Origin Spirit.
Half an hour and another quarter later, Wu Tao finally finished refining this Level 9 Origin Spirit, and the fifth level of his Nine Luminaries Heavenly Capital Spirit Preserving Method had also reached 18% progress.
One Level 9 Origin Spirit could bring him 8% progress.
Calculated this way, Xiang Ziheng still had one Level 9 Origin Spirit, Liu Hai had two Level 9 Origin Spirits, and the three Blood Sect Nascent Soul Level 9 cultivators still needed to hand over six Level 9 Origin Spirits.
Altogether, that made nine Level 9 Origin Spirits.
One Level 9 Origin Spirit could raise his cultivation by 8 points of progress; nine would provide 72 points of progress.
Adding 72 points of progress to 18 points would push Nascent Soul Level Five all the way to 90% progress in one go.
He would only need one or two high-level Origin Spirits to break through to Nascent Soul Level Six.
"In that case, relying on my own efforts, as well as the efforts of the other Nascent Soul cultivators, perhaps I really can raise my cultivation to Nascent Soul Level 7 in the Origin Spirit Secret
