A night passed.
The next morning, rain was still falling outside the temple, though it was no longer as fierce as the night before. Like the spiritual energy vortex inside the temple, it gradually dwindled.

The ceaseless ghostly wails and wolfish howls inside the temple finally subsided. Zhang Yuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled, expelling all the impure and turbid qi accumulated within him. At once, his mind felt clear and his spirits refreshed.
After a night of cultivation.
His cultivation in the qi refining to immortality path had advanced from the early Foundation Establishment Realm to the middle Foundation Establishment Realm. A minor realm in a single night-his progress was remarkably fast. It would not be long before he broke through to an outer dao golden core.
Sensing that his spiritual power had increased by thirty percent, Zhang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
An earth spirit root qualified him as a minor genius, at the very least. With the top-tier soul cultivation technique, the Great Qian Primordial Soul-Refining Scripture, on top of that, such a cultivation speed was hardly surprising.
But Zhang Yuan also knew that this speed would only last through lower cultivator stages such as outer dao foundation establishment and golden core. Once he broke through the Golden Core Realm, his cultivation speed would surely fall sharply. To maintain this pace, he would still need to improve his spirit root aptitude.
