Inner Sect Cultivation Methods of the Eclosion Sect

"This disciple understands. Many thanks for the reminder, Uncle Lei."

Hearing Lei Wanhe's words, Fang Yu felt his heart settle and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"To think that Junior Nephew Fang actually comes from the secular martial arts world; you and Uncle Lei truly share a bond. Before I joined the sect, I was also a young martial arts grandmaster in Jian Prefecture. I even relied on my martial arts to slay an evil rogue cultivator before stepping onto the path of immortality, eventually joining the sect through the Ascension Conference."

Zhong Lingdao, the Sect Master of Yellow Maple Valley, saw the joy on Lei Wanhe's face and added with a chuckle.

"The Sect Master is right; I was indeed a martial arts grandmaster in my youth. Since that is the case, we are fated. Would you be willing to take me as your master?"

Hearing this, Lei Wanhe laughed lightly, looked at the Fang Yu before him, and asked.

"Disciple Fang Yu pays respects to Master."

As soon as the words fell, Fang Yu bowed respectfully to acknowledge his master.

"Good, haha. You are my seventh disciple. As for your other senior brothers and sisters, they are mostly away from the sect. I will introduce them to you one by one when they return."

Seeing this, Lei Wanhe laughed heartily, then patted the storage bag at his waist.

Suddenly, a silver-glowing, crescent-shaped magical tool appeared in his hand, which he handed to Fang Yu with a smile.

"This is a top-tier Thunder Attribute magical tool called the Thunder Moon Crescent Hook. It was a tool I used in my early years. Its power is quite impressive; consider it your initiation gift."

"Disciple Fang Yu thanks you, Master."

A top-tier magical tool, and a thunder-attribute one at that—this was extremely suitable for Fang Yu. He was naturally overjoyed and bowed to express his thanks.

"Mm! Very well. I need to leave the sect to search for spiritual herbs. You should cultivate diligently in the sect and wait until you reach the Foundation Establishment stage before going out to gain experience."

Lei Wanhe instructed with a smile.

"This disciple obeys, many thanks, Master."

Hearing this, Fang Yu blinked and quickly nodded in agreement.

He was well aware that in the Human Realm of the Mortal World, every step forward for a Core Formation stage cultivator was incredibly difficult.

Therefore, consuming large quantities of pills to improve one's cultivation base had become the standard method for Core Formation cultivators to increase their spiritual power.

Such pills could not be refined from ordinary herbs; they required herbs containing significant spiritual energy that had grown for hundreds of years, or pure heavenly spiritual herbs, to accelerate their cultivation speed.

Thus, a large portion of the time spent by Core Formation cultivators on their long journeys was dedicated to scavenging for these extremely rare herbs.

Of course, in the Mortal World, taking pills was merely an auxiliary means to improve one's cultivation.

It only served to shorten the time required for meditation and the absorption of spiritual energy!

Diligent, bitter cultivation was the only true path to transforming spiritual energy into one's own power!

Otherwise, even if one took countless pills, if one did not spend the time to refine the contained spiritual energy bit by bit, it would be useless and would not increase one's power at all.

There had even been cases where cultivators swallowed heaven-defying pills found in ancient ruins, only to have too much spiritual energy surge through their bodies, causing them to explode and die! Therefore, recklessly taking pills far beyond one's own realm was an extremely dangerous act.

As for cultivators who could break through cultivation bottlenecks on their own without the aid of any medicinal power, they were far too rare in the entire cultivation world—every one of them was a genius seen only once in a century, namely those possessing a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

However, because the Heaven-Palm Bottle was collecting Nine Yang Sacred Water at the Fang Family, Fang Yu did not need to cultivate herbs, and he was not lacking in pills.

If he ran out of Foundation Establishment Pills, he could simply trade Nine Yang Sacred Water with Fang Qingxue for them.

Therefore, regarding Lei Wanhe's request for herbs, not only did he not have any, but even if he did, he would not take them out now.

That would be called being dim-witted, not being respectful to one's master!

Afterward, Lei Wanhe gave Fang Yu some pointers on his cultivation before setting off to leave Yellow Maple Valley in search of herbs.

For any cultivator, there was nothing more important than their own cultivation.

"Sect Master Uncle, if there is nothing else, this disciple will take his leave."

After Lei Wanhe left, Fang Yu chatted a bit more with Sect Master Zhong of Yellow Maple Valley about his cave dwelling. After the other party registered him, he rose to leave.

"Junior Brother, since you are now Uncle Lei's disciple, you may address me as Senior Brother Sect Master. There is no need to call me Uncle."

Sect Master Zhong of Yellow Maple Valley laughed.

"This disciple would not dare! Please forgive me, Sect Master Uncle."

Hearing this, Fang Yu quickly declined.

"Hehe, what is there to be afraid of? Uncle Lei has said that with your aptitude, it is only a matter of time before you surpass him. In the future, if you need anything, just come to me. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

Sect Master Zhong of Yellow Maple Valley said with a chuckle.

"Since that is the case, then this junior brother will be impolite. Many thanks, Senior Brother Sect Master."

Seeing this, Fang Yu took the opportunity to say.

"Mm, go back to your cave dwelling and cultivate, Junior Brother! If you have any matters, just come here and find me."

Sect Master Zhong of Yellow Maple Valley nodded.

"This junior takes his leave."

Hearing this, Fang Yu did not delay any longer; he rose and left the Council Hall.

The news of him being taken as a disciple by Lei Wanhe quickly spread throughout Yellow Maple Valley, making many Qi Refining and even Foundation Establishment disciples envious.

Yet, they dared not say much, only whispering sour remarks to one another.

After all, Fang Yu possessed a Thunder Attribute Heterogeneous Spiritual Root. In terms of aptitude, there were at most a few in all of Yellow Maple Valley who could compare to him; the only ones who could surpass him were those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

And since there had been fewer than ten people with Heavenly Spiritual Roots in the entire history of Yellow Maple Valley, that was naturally impossible.

As for Fang Yu, after tidying up everything in his temporary cave dwelling, he headed toward the Qilin Pavilion of Yellow Maple Valley.

The name "Qilin Pavilion" sounded quite imposing and resonant; it was also one of the most important places in the valley, as it was where spiritual beasts were raised and tamed.

Fang Yu's goal was the Twin-Eyed Rat at the Qilin Pavilion; he needed this spiritual beast to help him find the Spirit Eye Spring that Han Li had obtained.

Hm! It felt a bit like snatching Han Li's opportunity, but since he had already snatched the Heaven-Palm Bottle, there was no need to worry about this small Spirit Eye Spring.

In any case, the time ratio between the Mortal World and The Great Primordial World was vast. Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was lacking, he was not short on pills, so that gap did not matter much.

Three months was equivalent to about ninety years in the Mortal World. He naturally could not stay in the Mortal World for that long, but in such a long time, as long as he could obtain the Origin Spirit Art, Chaos-Cavern Breath-Absorption Art, and Righteous Qi of Heaven and Earth from the Eclosion Sect, he had a good chance of breaking through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

However, even so, he intended to get his hands on the Great Development Art.

He wanted to see what the difference was between this technique and the Origin Spirit Art; perhaps it could also help him open the path to divine abilities.

As for whether he could, it would depend on luck. Even if he couldn't, it could still strengthen his divine sense; in short, there would be no loss.

But obtaining it would not happen in an instant; he needed to plan carefully, or wait for the other party to walk into his trap—though it seemed there wasn't much time.

If he were to return to The Great Primordial World, it would only take a few days.
