With their respective areas of interest in theoretical knowledge as a foundation, the disciples determined their own ninja path, Tsubasa began the second phase of training—resource allocation to forcibly enhance their cultivation!
He led his disciples directly to the academy's " Creation Treasury." The moment the vault's doors opened, an intensely rich medicinal fragrance and incomparably pure spiritual Spiritual Qi gushed out, invigorating everyone and causing their internal energy to unconsciously accelerate.
Inside the treasure vault, all sorts of rare and precious materials were piled up: there were vermilion fruits, as red as flames, radiating a scorching life force; there were nine-aperture exquisite lotuses, emitting rosy light and containing pure Soul Power; there were dragon blood treasure leaves, their leaves like blood jade, flowing with boundless blood and energy; there were fragments of Xingchen cores, shimmering with faint light, drawing upon the power of the Xingchen throughout the heavens; and there were also various crystal-clear pills, contained in jade bottles, labeled with " Foundation Establishment Pill," " Golden Core Condensation Pill," " Barrier-Breaking Pill," " Nine-Turn Treasure Pill," and so on.
"T-Teacher, are all of these... for us to use?" Naruto Uzumaki swallowed hard, feeling the Kurama split soul within him screaming, "I want them!"
Although Sasuke Uchiha's expression remained cold, a hint of shock flashed in his Rinnegan. Even as the young head of the Uchiha clan, he had never witnessed such a display.
Rēji Senju felt the energy that shared the same origin as her Wood Release life force but was even purer, and cheered, "Great! My Wood Release will definitely become stronger!"
Xingchen's eyes lit up as she looked at the precious medicines that were clearly meant to strengthen the physical body.
Even Madara Uchiha and Mito Uzumaki were stunned by Tsubasa's grand gesture. In their previous lives, they were powerful figures in the Shinobi World and had collected many treasures, but compared to Immortal King Tsubasa's resources, it was like the difference between a beggar and an emperor.
Tsubasa said calmly, "On the path of Immortal Cultivation, wealth, companions, methods, and land are paramount, with resources being the most important. As my disciples, you are the hope of the Shinobi World and should naturally enjoy the best resources. Ordinary people are limited by their innate talent and physique; such potent medicine would surely cause them to explode and die. But you..."
His gaze swept over these disciples with celestial-grade aptitudes one by one. " Sasuke Uchiha, bearer of the Rinnegan; Hinata Hyuga, Byakugan sees through illusions and Tenseigan touches the source; Rēji Senju, born with Sage Body; Naruto Uzumaki, of the Uzumaki and Senju bloodlines, master of the Nine-Tails, favored by destiny; Xingchen, with a divine body containing divine treasures, possessing the ultimate power; Kirin Cat, of divine beast bloodline, innately close to the laws... and you disciples, you too are exceptionally talented. Your bodies and comprehension are sufficient to withstand the power of these precious medicines!"
"Now, according to the 'Body Tempering Medicine Sequence' I've prepared for each of you, enter the ' Spirit Transformation Pool ' next to you and begin your cultivation! I will personally protect you and guide the medicinal power!"
The Spirit Transformation Pool is a sacred cultivation ground formed by drawing upon the underground spiritual veins of the Valley of the End and supplementing it with Great Spirit Gathering Formation. The pool water is not ordinary water, but rather a mixture of liquefied spiritual Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth and various precious liquids that nourish the meridians.
The disciples held the jade slips given to them by Tsubasa, which detailed the order of taking the medicine and the refining methods suitable for their individual physiques and current cultivation levels. They eagerly leaped into the Spirit Transformation Pool and sat down cross-legged.
The first medicines taken were " Meridian-Widening Pill " and " Marrow-Cleansing Spiritual Liquid," which lay the foundation and broaden the meridians. The medicinal power dissipated, like a gentle warm current washing over the limbs and bones, removing the impurities deep within the body, and broadening the meridians that were already several times stronger and wider than those of ordinary people.
Pain is inevitable, especially when the medicine hits the meridians, like scraping the bone to remove poison. But who among them who can go this far is not a person of strong will? Even the youngest Xingchen and the young-looking Ban and Mito gritted their teeth and did not utter a sound.
Impurities were expelled, turning into black mist and dissipating in the pool. Their skin became increasingly radiant, their bones glowed with a jade-like light, and their meridians became like wide rivers, capable of accommodating the flow of more energy.
Once the foundation is solid, even more potent medicinal effects will follow.
Naruto swallowed the " Nine-Turn Wind Spirit Fruit," and his body was instantly enveloped in violent wind-attribute Spiritual Qi, as if it would tear him apart. However, he endured the pain, circulated his cultivation technique, and drew this Spiritual Qi into his dantian. His Golden Core began to spin wildly and solidify, entering a higher level.
Sasuke consuming the " Purple Firmament Thunder Pattern Fruit," Sasuke's body crackled with electricity, Rinnegan involuntarily activated, absorbing the destructive and creative power within the lightning. His eye power steadily increased, and his control over Lightning Release reached a completely new level.
Hinata consumed " Moonlight Star Soul Dew," Tenseigan shine brightly, as if resonating with the Xingchen in the heavens and the moonlight. Her Soul Power surged, and her perception of spatial fluctuations became increasingly clear.
Rin'er directly hugged a section of "Jianmu Remnant" (obtained by Tsubasa from the Domain Level powerhouse Ōtsutsuki Ran ). The boundless life force and wood-type laws surged into her body. Her Wood Release carried an ancient and desolate aura, its power multiplied, and her cultivation surged upwards with unstoppable momentum.
Xingchen's cultivation method was the most direct and violent. He directly chewed and swallowed the leaves of the "Dragon Blood Treasure Tree," while simultaneously pressing the " Xingchen Core Fragment" to his chest. Terrifying blood energy and Xingchen power exploded within his body, impacting his limbs and bones. His entire body turned crimson, with bulging veins, and he seemed on the verge of exploding and dying. However, his eyes grew increasingly sharp. He could feel the invisible "meridian gates" within his body being impacted by this power, seemingly ready to open even more at any moment.
The Kirin Cat devoured various demon beast Inner Core and immortal herbs like candy, its body sometimes expanding and sometimes shrinking, its fur becoming increasingly lustrous, and even showing signs of a single horn protruding from its forehead, its aura surging towards the Golden Core demon beast's barrier.
The disciples on the side were not to be outdone. Kageko Nara took the " Wisdom Heart Spirit Pill," which boosted his spiritual power and made him faster at deducing formations; Tianling took the " Imperial Extremity Pill," which made his dragon aura more refined and pure; Madara Uchiha (young) took the " All Things in Creation Immortal Grass " ( Tsubasa specially found for him) in an attempt to accelerate the Sharingan towards the Rinnegan; Mito Uzumaki (young) took the " Nine-Turn Treasure Pill," which made her life force surge like the sea, laying a solid foundation for her Mirai Sealing Jutsu; Haruko took the " Soul-Cleansing Immortal Grass," which made her priestess power and soul more compatible.
Tsubasa hovered above the Spirit Transformation Pool, his divine sense covering everyone and constantly monitoring their condition. Occasionally, someone would show signs of losing control of their energy or going into a demonic state. He would then flick his finger, sending a stream of pure Immortal Power into their body to forcibly straighten the runaway energy and guide it back to the right track.
Time passed day by Tenten. The precious liquid in the Spirit Transformation Pool became thinner at a visible rate, while the disciples' auras soared wildly.
"Boom!"
The first to achieve consecutive breakthroughs was Rēji Senju! Her breakthroughs were as easy as drinking water. When she was just one step away from the Golden Core stage, with the help of the broken branches of the Jianmu tree and numerous precious medicines, she encountered almost no bottlenecks. A powerful life force soared into the sky, and green light enveloped the entire Spirit Transformation Pool. She reached the Early Golden Core stage! Jūni- year-old Golden Core Immortal Venerable! She broke the record for the youngest Golden Core cultivator in the history of the Shinobi World! She also easily survived the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation.
Immediately afterwards.
"Buzz!" Hinata Hyuga Hyuga's surrounding space slightly distorted, her blue Tenseigan burst forth with dazzling light, her soul resonated with the laws of space, and she achieved the Early Golden Core!
"Sizzle!" The lightning around Sasuke Uchiha subsided, the Tomoe in his Rinnegan slowly rotated, and his aura became as deep as an abyss. He had achieved Late Golden Core Stage!
"Whoosh--" Naruto Uzumaki, and a Golden Core with wind patterns swirling around his dantian shone brightly. Late Golden Core Stage, achieved!
"Roar!" The Kirin Cat let out a roar that sounded like both a cat and Kirin. Its body grew larger, and the single horn on its forehead grew out completely, flashing with the light of thunder and fire. It had become a Golden Core demon beast!
"Ha!" Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes and threw a punch, causing the air to explode. He did not condense a traditional Golden Core, but instead dispersed his vast energy into his limbs and bones, opening up a unique "path of body cultivation" - the Peak Foundation Establishment (corresponding to the Eight Gates Released Formation of Taijutsu, where Eight Gates are always open). However, his actual combat strength is by no means weaker than that of an ordinary Early Golden Core cultivator!
The disciples who were not formally registered also broke through to new heights. Kageko Nara and Tianling successfully reached the Peak Foundation Establishment, just one step away from the Golden Core stage. Madara Uchiha and Mito Uzumaki, relying on their past life's resources and precious medicines, pushed their cultivation to the Late Foundation Establishment, a level they had never reached in their previous lives, which was terrifying. Haruko also successfully Foundation Establishment, perfectly combining the power of a priestess with the path of immortality.
In just one month ( Shinobi World time), the strength of Tsubasa's disciples has undergone earth-shattering changes! All the personal disciples have reached the Golden Core or Golden Core combat power, and the nominal disciples have all reached the Late Foundation Establishment or even the peak stage!
Such a rapid advancement would be enough to terrify the entire Shinobi World if word got out. But Tsubasa knew that this was just the beginning. Having a high realm but not understanding the laws and how to apply them is nothing but a castle in the air.
