One month later, at Nine-Bend Peak in the Dao Sect.
Once he no longer served as Nine-Bend Peak's Senior Master Brother, life really did settle down. Chen Yu studied the Poison Scripture and the Array Dao Manual every day. Whenever he grew tired of reading, he chatted and joked with Senior Sister Lü. It was a pleasantly leisurely life.
The Star-Dipper Maze Formation had already been laid around his residence.
Chen Yu had put considerable effort into setting it up.
Anyone who approached normally along the path would not stumble into the maze formation. But anyone who chose an unconventional route... heh, unless they had reached Golden Core, they could forget about getting out easily.
Furthermore, with the five elements spirit seeds in his dantian nourishing one another in a continuous cycle, Chen Yu's cultivation soon broke through to the third layer of Foundation Establishment.
[Attributes updated!] [Age: 22.] [Level: third layer of Foundation Establishment (99/100).] [Spiritual root: five-attribute mixed spiritual root.] [Martial skills: "Qi-Concealing Art," "Wind-Riding Art," "Flying Sword Technique," "Water Escape Technique."] [Cultivation manuals: "True Essence Profound Canon · Foundation Establishment Chapter," "True Yang Technique," "Mountain-Subduing Technique," "Flowing Light True Art," "Water Spirit Mystical Method," "Yi Wood Heart Sutra."] [Secret arts: "Spirit Essence Refinement Method," "Soul Refining Art."] [Currently available experience points: 0.]
There was good news.
Breaking through from the third layer of Foundation Establishment to Golden Core also required only 100 experience points.
Moreover, just as at the second layer of Foundation Establishment, after Chen Yu cultivated the True Essence Profound Canon to its limit, the five elements spirit seeds in his dantian continued nourishing one another and generating experience points. Before long, all his cultivation manuals had reached their limits.
Now, Chen Yu was only one experience point away from the Golden Core
