Morning light seeped through gaps in the paper sealing the window and fell on Yi Yang's knees.
He opened his eyes, and the Wood True Yang Scripture circulating within him brought its practice to a close on its own. The profound light seed in his qi sea had swollen another size since last night. Its blue-green luster rotated steadily, giving off true qi considerably richer than before he had gone to sleep.
The numbers on his panel appeared.
[Wood True Yang Scripture · Profound Light Realm (4.4 million/20 million)]
One fifth.
Yi Yang felt no delight. Four million four hundred thousand points of progress looked like rapid improvement, but the twenty-million-point requirement for perfection stood right there. He had advanced this quickly only because he had consumed large quantities of resources. At his current pace, relying on cultivation alone without taking pills, he would need at least another seven or eight years to break through to the Profound Connection Second Realm.
But he now had Han Ji's eight bottles of Profound Connection Realm pills, along with the True Essence Lotus Heart Seeds and the remaining petals of the Golden-Silk Sunflower. If he poured all of them into his cultivation, he could shorten that time considerably.
This feeling of constantly growing stronger really is impossible to resist! Yi Yang marveled inwardly. Suddenly, his brow twitched.
His Illusion-Breaking divine sense detected an aura outside the courtyard gate.
The aura was somewhat familiar: heavy and keen, like a long spear held in someone's grip, not yet thrust forward.
Sensing it, Yi Yang rose from the edge of the bed, reached the doorway in three strides, and opened the door.
"Lord Jiang, what brings you here? Please, come in."
The man standing outside was Jiang Zhongtian, Deputy Garrison Commissioner of Crossing Peak
