Sect Master Jiang himself very much wanted to step down.
Watching Yue Shuo cultivate by drawing in lightning, stacking Minor Heavenly Tribulations without using a shred of defense, simply taking them head-on as he swallowed other resources beneath the heavenly lightning and began refining them in cultivation—
"Did Junior Brother forget again? His goal is to raise his Qi Refining, not Body Tempering?"
Senior Ze had been watching all along as well.
Mainly to guard against the Heavenly Dao stirring up trouble.
Hearing this, Senior Ze explained on Yue Shuo's behalf:
"For his Qi Refining now, he only needs to refine Tribulation Aura. Tribulation Aura has to be transformed from scattered heavenly lightning... Yue Shuo has always disliked wasting time, so he just tempers his body while he is at it."
In any case, it killed two birds with one stone.
As they spoke.
The two saw Yue Shuo practice his Lightning Technique again.
Fine, now it was killing three birds with one stone.
Then, before this wave of tribulation lightning had even dissipated, another round began.
There were many Peak Second-Tier Little Spirit Cranes within Yue Shuo's Grotto-Heaven.
There were even more Little Spirit Cranes left behind at Great Yue Peak.
And he had abundant resources.
In particular, he could produce first-, second-, and Third-Tier resources in massive quantities within his Grotto-Heaven, with formations and manpower, along with the optimal growing environments he had organized.
There were also the resources he had stockpiled before.
The resources supplied by the sect, Senior Ze, and Senior Brother Jiang.
They were all enough for him to raise his several hundred Little Spirit Cranes to Second-Tier, mid-to-late Second-Tier, and for those with slightly better talent, all the way to Peak Second-Tier.
For Spirit Beasts, once resources were refined, their advancement was extraordinarily fast.
