Spring gave way to autumn, snow scattered and clouds parted, and another two years flew by.
Within the grotto-heaven, Ye Jingcheng sat in a pavilion, Five Elements true essence surging through his body like roaring rivers.
When Ye Jingcheng had first switched to cultivating the Five Spirit True Canon, he had discovered that its true essence was exceptionally powerful. Whenever he cultivated at full force, his meridians would swell with aching pain.
Yet after Ye Jingcheng began cultivating the Savage Overlord Body Secret Canon, that condition had greatly improved.
Now, let alone ordinary cultivation, he could even slowly refine the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor's fifth-rank true essence.
After one circulation, Ye Jingcheng finally opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Feeling that the Five-Colored Golden Core within him had grown another size, his face filled with delight.
"I should be about done after cultivating for another year or so." With his Blood Soul Pearl blood clone researching the art of alchemy, Ye Jingcheng had spent this entire period cultivating.
Unlike ordinary cultivators, whose spiritual power and true essence all came from breathing exercises.
More than half of his true essence came from his four beasts, a smaller portion from the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, and only less than half from breathing exercises.
As a result, his true essence was vast and condensed, deep and enduring, saving him no small amount of effort.
Moreover, over the past two years, he had consumed quite a few spiritual pills to achieve his current results.
The reason he stopped was also because it was time to feed his spirit beasts, something he did once every three months.
Ye Jingcheng's grotto-heaven now contained deer, pigs, fish, and other blood food for the beasts to devour, as well as the Flesh Ganoderma Demon.
