Su Wen: You'd Better Be; Methods for Raising Cultivation (Monthly Tickets Requested~)

"All right, let's move~"

Xuan Zi waved a hand and left with Su Wen.

Zhang Yi pressed his palms together and made several hand signs, and the previously steady wooden cabin slowly sank underground.

Su Wen clicked his tongue in wonder at the sight.

They were indeed worthy of being an Inner Courtyard team. Though they were usually rather lax, once they entered combat readiness, they still showed the bearing of elites. Ma Xiaotao blinked her beautiful eyes at Su Wen and smilingly blended into the team.

If she hadn't been at the peak of Soul Elder and needed to obtain her fourth Soul Ring, she wouldn't have followed this elite team whose average strength was around Soul Emperor.

Seeing everyone leave...

Only then did Su Wen look toward Elder Xuan. The latter rubbed his palms together and chuckled. "Xiao Wen, want to eat bird eggs? In the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest, there's a kind of Blazing Bird, usually between three thousand and ten thousand years old. The eggs they lay taste absolutely..."

"So we're just ignoring Sister Tao and the others?" Su Wen said without changing expression.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem. They'll take care of themselves. Don't worry. Five Soul Sages, six Soul Emperors, and four Soul Kings. Unless this team runs into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, they can run rampant through this area. Even if they meet a fifty- or sixty-thousand-year Soul Beast, they'll be fine as long as they're careful." Xuan Zi stroked his chin.

"And what if they do run into one?" Su Wen frowned slightly.

His eyes fixed tightly on Elder Xuan. "Just for the sake of eating bird eggs, you're making the entire team bear such a huge risk? I'm suddenly starting to feel that I agreed a little too quickly two days ago. Whether such an unreliable academy is worth joining at all..."

"Ah... well..."

Xuan Zi began to stammer.

His throat bobbed, and his expression turned somewhat awkward. He hadn't expected this child to be so righteous. Besides, he had already informed Elder Mu. If Elder Mu learned that he had lost this child's trust in the academy because of "raiding a bird nest," this martial uncle who had been silent in a wheelchair for decades might be so furious he would stand up and kill him.

"Hahaha, this old man was joking just now. I was just testing you. I didn't expect you to withstand the test! Not bad, not bad. As expected of someone I value." Xuan Zi laughed it off.

"You'd better be," Su Wen said with a light laugh.

Xuan Zi's old face reddened.

He clicked his tongue inwardly. Kids these days were really hard to fool...

"Screech!"

An eagle's cry tore through the sky.

Its might was terrifying, shaking an entire stretch of forest.

"As expected of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast. What an intimidating aura. I just wonder when Hurricane will be able to grow to this point." Su Wen stood on the thick branch of an ancient tree, watching the little black dot gradually vanish in the distant sky, envy flashing through his eyes.

"With your talent, it isn't that far off. Ten years at most, I'd say." Xuan Zi lay to the side, boredly biting into a cooked chicken drumstick as he spoke indistinctly.

Su Wen nodded slightly.

Words aside, he was still quite confident in himself.

His gaze fell on Hurricane beside him. After half a month of cultivation, counting the one rank increase from consuming the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he had increased by roughly 1.2 ranks in total, and as his strength rose, that had also manifested in Hurricane.

Its height had clearly grown by a section, to around 1.1 meters, and the muscle lines on its arms had also become more distinct.

The base values on the panel had risen from 0.14 to 0.22.

As for skills and the like, there were no changes at all. It seemed there would only be changes when it advanced to the next form, or if there was some fortuitous encounter.

The meditation method plus the compatible internal art Xuan Zi had given him (similar to Mysterious Heaven Skill)—stacking these two together, his cultivation speed truly wasn't slow. If he pushed a little, he could rise one rank in two months.

Of course, the increase in Soul Power would gradually slow, but even if it slowed further, by the time he officially enrolled at twelve, his Soul Power would probably at least rise above rank thirty-five... (Tang San had Mysterious Heaven Skill and meditation, and he was rank twenty-nine upon enrollment. Douluo Dalu 2's numbers were inflated, but top geniuses like Dai Huabin and Ning Tian were only rank thirty upon enrollment.)

Su Wen was quite pleased about this. A top-tier Cultivation Technique like this was something only continental peak powers such as Shrek, Body Sect, and the Star Dou Empire could produce. It was fortunate that he had encountered the Shrek team at this time.

Sitting cross-legged, the Shrek team was not far below him. He saw Ma Xiaotao idly fiddling with a branch, Zhang Lexuan and Zhang Yi talking about something, and everyone holding a small meeting.

Over the past few days, Ma Xiaotao had obtained her fourth soul skill. It seemed to have come from a Blazing Gorilla. The other team members had also gained something, leaving only Senior Disciple Sister and two other Inner Courtyard Disciples.

However, all three of them were Soul Sages, and the Soul Beasts they required were all above thirty or forty thousand years old, so they were naturally hard to find.

Unfortunately, they were too far away, and he couldn't hear clearly.

Su Wen shook his head.

He glanced at Hurricane, who was staying obediently beside him. This place had already entered the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. Here, thousand-year beasts truly ran everywhere, and ten-thousand-year beasts were as common as dogs. A mere ten-year Soul Beast entering this place was like entering a max-level village. Forget attacking—just the pressure alone was enough to shatter its soul.

Otherwise, he really would have liked to find one or two Soul Beasts of the same tier and let Hurricane practice.

"Rrr~"

Hurricane growled lowly at a distant tree trunk, then looked pitifully at Su Wen.

Man and beast were connected in heart and mind, and Su Wen instantly understood what it meant.

"You want to go play?"

"If it wants to go, let it go. But only on this tree. As long as it doesn't run around, that's fine. This old man's aura isn't concealed, so no Soul Beasts nearby will come cause trouble." Xuan Zi yawned and spoke leisurely.

Hurricane nodded in a very human manner, joy flashing through its pitch-black, lively eyes.

"You can understand human speech?" Su Wen raised an eyebrow, then instantly understood. With their minds connected, it could naturally understand what Xuan Zi meant through him.

"Go on."

Su Wen waved a hand, sat cross-legged on the ancient tree, and began to cultivate.

Xuan Zi opened his bleary, sleepy eyes and grinned. "This kid's pretty diligent. He's got Innate Full Soul Power and he still works this hard. His future's limitless~"

The Cultivation Technique he had obtained from Elder Xuan was called the Spirit Pill Technique.

It gathered the circulation of one's meridians into a single point, condensed it into a spirit pill, then used that spirit pill to feed the entire body in return. With this cycle back and forth, soul power would slowly increase.

Su Wen felt the soul power around his body rising slowly yet noticeably, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling up. Was this the joy of being a top student? Getting immediate feedback from progress—no wonder people fell in love with studying.

As for the many soul masters on the continent who just coasted along, that was understandable too.

He had his buffs fully stacked, which was why his cultivation speed could be this fast. If it were a soul master with only innate level one who only knew how to meditate, their cultivation speed would probably be less than one-tenth of his. He didn't even dare imagine how despairing that would be...

"Wait, hold on..."

Just as Su Wen was happily cultivating, he suddenly froze.

Because Hurricane's data panel refreshed in an instant. Several red numbers, along with the upward arrows beside them indicating growth, startled Su Wen.

What happened?

How had Hurricane's stats suddenly shot up by 0.09?!!

No!

It seemed he had also risen by one level along with it!

Su Wen opened his eyes and saw Hurricane, holding a scarlet fruit in his mouth, turn into a gust of wind as he scrambled and tumbled up from the lower levels of the ancient tree, while making faces at the giant python chasing close behind him.
