During the day, Lu Ye had already cultivated the Twenty-First Aperture to fullness. As long as he broke through the Aperture Barrier of the Twenty-Second Aperture, he would be one step closer to Spirit Stream Tier Three.
He did not take the Barrier Breaking Fruit, though it was extraordinarily effective at breaking Aperture Barriers.
By Lu Ye's estimation, Barrier Breaking Fruits should be quite precious. Last time, he had taken one because he had been in a hurry to advance to the Spirit Stream First Layer. Now that he had enough Spirit Nurturing Pills, he only needed to spend a little more time to achieve the same goal, so naturally, Lu Ye would not waste one.
He planned to save those two Spiritual Fruits and take them at the right time. Only then could they produce their greatest effect.
The Spiritual Power within his body was now utterly incomparable to what it had been at the start. With this, breaking through an Aperture Barrier became much easier for him.
In no more than an hour, the barrier of the Twenty-Second Aperture was broken, and a thin stream of Spiritual Power flowed into it.
Lu Ye cultivated for a while longer, completely digesting the pill's potency before finally stopping.
It had been three days since he last examined the Spiritual Pattern leaves on the Talent Tree. Lu Ye planned to inspect the third burning leaf tonight and see what kind of Spiritual Pattern it carried.
Though he had mentally prepared himself, he still felt somewhat apprehensive when the moment came. That experience had simply been too unpleasant.
But he would have to go through this sooner or later. Better a short pain than a long one. Gritting his teeth, Lu Ye focused his mind and "looked" toward the Talent Tree within
