Gui Xu Yin! Its Third Layer Rivaled the Taotie Sacred Body! Energy Point Gains Soared!

The next day, when Lu Qingyun woke up,

the first thing he did was replenish the medicinal power accumulated within his body.

This concerned his Energy Points. He could not slack off!

Opening the panel, Lu Qingyun checked the results of the system's hard work throughout the night.

[Host: Lu Qingyun (Soul Bound)]

[Energy Points: 5564844]

[Realm: Blood Moving Realm, 21564th level!]

A full five million Energy Points!

"Not bad, not bad. I'm very satisfied."

Lu Qingyun beamed and could not help nodding.

He was extremely satisfied with the system's efforts over the entire night.

He had gained such a massive amount of Energy Points just by sleeping. He was literally leveling up while lying down!

"The higher the level, the greater the efficiency of absorbing energy. In other words, what I need to improve most is my energy absorption efficiency!"

Lu Qingyun quickly identified the area he most needed to strengthen.

"Yang Mei."

"Your subordinate is here."

The moment his words fell, Yang Mei appeared before Lu Qingyun.

Although she was only responsible for Lu Qingyun's daily affairs and not his protection,

her cultivation was also exceedingly powerful, having reached the peak of Nirvana!

"I need every high-grade cultivation art related to devouring."

"Yes!"

Yang Mei accepted the order.

Though she could not understand why Lu Qingyun was so certain that he suited this type of cultivation art,

an order from the Sequence could not be refused.

As Lu Qingyun's Attendant Captain, Yang Mei naturally possessed Lu Qingyun's authorization.

Thus, after some time had passed, the cultivation arts she brought back were shockingly high-grade!

"Sequence, a total of thirty-three high-grade cultivation arts related to devouring and seventy-three divine abilities have been found."

"Due to time constraints, a large number of lower-grade cultivation arts and divine abilities were not collected. If the Sequence requires them, I will immediately send people to compile them!"

Yang Mei was highly efficient. Of course, it could also be said that the Lu Family was exceptionally accommodating toward the Sequence.

When it came to the Sequence's demands, they always emphasized completing them with the highest quality and efficiency!

"No need. These are enough."

Lu Qingyun accepted the Jade Talismans containing those cultivation arts and divine abilities. After dismissing Yang Mei,

he directly immersed his consciousness within them. In an instant, all the information on the cultivation arts flooded into his mind.

Abyssal Devour, Cosmic Ashes, Myriad Transformations Heaven Swallowing Art...

Every name resounded with overwhelming grandeur.

If any one of them fell into the Great Wilderness, it could topple an Ancient Kingdom in an instant!

Yet here with Lu Qingyun, they were like cabbages in a market, free for him to pick from!

In the end, Lu Qingyun chose the shortest cultivation art—Gui Xu Yin.

It drew all things into the void realm of annihilation!

It was hailed as the ultimate devouring art!

This was an incomplete cultivation art, and currently only contained its first three layers.

Yet even with only those three layers, its effects were no weaker than any high-grade devouring cultivation art!

Because as long as one reached the third layer, one could contend with the Taotie Sacred Body in terms of devouring!

It was terrifying beyond measure!

In Lu Qingyun's memories, among the nine people who had awakened powerful constitutions, there was a fair, chubby little fatty whose awakened constitution was the Taotie Sacred Body!

His energy absorption efficiency simply far surpassed everyone else's!

If Lu Qingyun had not relied on his realm advantage back then, he probably could not have absorbed more than that little fatty!

This showed just how powerful the Taotie Sacred Body was!

And this Gui Xu Yin, merely upon reaching its third layer, could grant Lu Qingyun a devouring effect comparable to the Taotie Sacred Body.

It was undoubtedly the best choice!

After deciding on his choice, Lu Qingyun poured the contents of Gui Xu Yin into his mind.

The moment the transfer was complete, an additional cultivation art section appeared on the panel!

[Cultivation Art: Gui Xu Yin (Uncomprehended, 0/1000000)]

"One, two, three... six zeroes!"

When Lu Qingyun saw the cultivation art section appear, his heart leaped with joy.

Because this meant his guess was correct.

Cultivation arts and divine abilities could all be upgraded directly with Energy Points, added and added and added without end!

Until he got sick of it!

It was just that the number of Energy Points required was rather huge!

It took one million right from the start!

One could imagine that it would require even more later on!

"Isn't it just one million? Add it!"

Although Lu Qingyun was somewhat worried about the Energy Points needed later, one million was nothing to him right now!

With a thought, his Energy Points plummeted by a million!

Correspondingly, the cultivation art section underwent an entirely new breakthrough!

[Cultivation Art: Gui Xu Yin (First Layer, 0/100000000)]

Gui Xu Yin only had three layers in total, yet he had directly reached the first layer!

For a moment, Lu Qingyun felt every cell in his body craving energy!

The notification sounds by his ear also began changing without pause.

[Energy Points +125, +264, +523...]

Very quickly, the rate at which he gained Energy Points increased severalfold!

Although the amount gained each time did not appear to have changed enormously when viewed individually,

in the long run, it was utterly terrifying!

If Lu Qingyun had cultivated this art last night and reached the first layer,

then when he woke this morning, the Energy Points he had accumulated would no longer have been five million, but at least twenty million!

Forget earning back the one million investment—even the Energy Points required for the second layer could be gathered directly before long!

Only...

"Eight zeroes, one hundred million! You really dared to ask for it—an entire hundredfold increase!!"

Lu Qingyun counted the Energy Points required for the second layer, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

The leap was truly a little too great. He would need to save for at least three days before he could gather enough!

But one could imagine that the greater the investment, the greater the return!

By then, his devouring efficiency would soar once again!

In the long run, it was absolutely a guaranteed profit!

Of course, there was still a cost to pay: the corresponding amount of cultivation resources.

But resources... Lu Qingyun did not lack them.

The Lu Family lacked them even less!

"Sequence, the Seventeenth Elder has arrived."

Yang Mei's voice sounded from outside the door.

Lu Qingyun rose and opened the hall doors.

He saw Lu Changming hurrying in.

The instant he saw Lu Qingyun, he grabbed him and said, "You already chose a cultivation art!? Which one did you choose?"

"Gui Xu Yin. Is there a problem?"

Lu Qingyun poured Lu Changming a cup of tea. He still had a favorable impression of Lu Changming.

From the fact that he had directly brought out true dragon blood for their Rite of Passage, it was clear that he was a very generous man.

"Gui Xu Yin... that one. Good, as long as you haven't successfully cultivated it yet."

Upon hearing Gui Xu Yin, Lu Changming let out a long sigh of relief.

"Good thing you chose such an incredibly difficult cultivation art. If you had picked one that was easy to get started with, my sin would have been enormous!"

"My fault. I didn't tell you that when choosing a cultivation art, you need to choose one matching your own future master's cultivation art. Only then can you receive the most effective guidance."

"I originally came today to have you choose your future master, but I never expected you to have already chosen a cultivation art yourself. Your heart for seeking the Dao is strong. Not bad!"

Lu Changming lavished praise upon Lu Qingyun.

Lu Qingyun, meanwhile, silently raised his hand.

A black vortex faintly appeared in his palm. This was precisely the sign of having successfully cultivated Gui Xu Yin!

"Mm... actually, I've already cultivated it successfully."
