Chapter 372: For Jindan, I Will Not Hesitate
Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy
After one year of self-torture, the results were remarkable.
If advancing cultivation base from high level Xudan to peak Xudan already has its foundation from the several months of life and death experiential learning in Western Continent, then for Non-Phase Sword Bone, None-Phase Sword Art and other thods to leap more ten layers, only by truly staking one's life in bitter cultivation could accomplish it.
This year on the mountain was Wang Lu's most rigorous training year ever. Although previously when he and Liu Li sparred, they would often seriously hurt each other, but this year's actual hard work was actually more than that.
Because his Master's requirent was too strict. Advancing his Non-Phase Sword Art by more than ten layers in just two years was simply a fantasy. Initially, he was able to advance his Non-Phase Sword Art for three layers in just one month. But now, to accumulate a deeper layer, the advancent should be slower. Let alone while practicing his sword art, he also needed to advance his Non-Phase Sword Bone, Non-Phase Immortal Heart and other thods simultaneously… And to achieve this, not only he needed to stake his life out, he also needed to stake his innate vitality, as well as fully utilizing all his available resources.
First was elixir. In this year, various elixirs were consud by him as much as his al. Fortunately, he has the support from his Seventh Uncle. Nevertheless, Wang Lu himself also spent a lot. Spirit stones have been spent more than a million—it could be more, but there was simply no market for a lot of things that he needed.
The second was planning. In order to effectively used the ti to race against his Master's two years' target, on the one hand, Wang Lu must multitask many things simultaneously, and on another hand, the practice plan must be reasonable. For example, after his routine sword practice, while restoring his physical as well as magical power, he underwent a deep ditation. At the sa ti, his physical body practiced hand seals and other fine thods, training his flexibility. Simultaneously, the progress of each thod must be coordinated with each other. Perhaps so of the thods such as Non-Phase Sword Bone, due to their reliance on external force, have stable progress. But others such as Non-Phase Immortal Heart that relied on inspiration and understanding needed to have a guide…
Then it was ti for full rest. No bowstring could be permanently taut without breaking. At a certain ti, Wang Lu would give himself a bit of ti to rest. Either by harassing Lady Boss in Spirit Creek Town, or be invited by Aya to help her perfect her dishes—at the sa ti, he also exercised his poison resistance there.
This one year was an unbelievably substantial year. And now, one year later, Wang Lu has achieved amazing results in accordance with the progress. Non-Phase Sword Art and other thods have comprehensively advanced to more than the forty-fifth layer. His magical power beca more abundant and full. The Void Core inside his Jade Mansion has beco more round and transparent, which hid a glimr of golden light, as if at any ti the 'Void' might beco 'Real', producing a qualitative change.
Of course, he still needed around six months more of preparation for the real qualitative change. By then, according to his Master's plan, he would reach the perfect condition to face the Jindan tribulation. If he could pass it, he would likely to achieve the highest grade of supre Jindan, and then… and then, she would be able to go all out to offer all kinds of extracurricular class to make additional money by using her capacity as the Master of a supre Jindan cultivator.
The advertisent sponsorship fee that she initially said was actually her making extra inco outside using her capacity as Wang Lu's Master. Wang Lu was busy like a dog, how could he have the ti to do advertisents? Of course, there were still a lot of advertisent jobs, but most of them were specifically operated by his Master—Wang Lu was simply too busy to take a part in them.
Sotis, Wang Lu even suspected that the reason why Wang Wu that cheap person arranged his practice so intensely was so that he would have no ti to check out her work outside, illegally using his portrait and so on… However, in that kind of intense practice, he really didn't have ti to care about it. He didn't care if she arbitrarily sold his portrait right and copyright, as long as she didn't sneakily sell his body.
This day, he had just finished his painstaking practice, and in accordance with his original plan, Wang Lu would go down the mountain to harass the Lady Boss. However, when he just arrived at the Four Divisions Peak, he saw a group of people coming in through the Great Cloud Array. All of them looked depressed as if they were part of a defeated army.
However, one of them was very familiar to him, which made him very happy.
"Fatty, how co you also ran to the wasteland?"
When it ca to Wen Bao, who was once his faithful subordinate, and now also assisted in the trivial matters regarding the managent of Wisdom Sect, they always have a harmonious relationship. It was just that, as the difference in their cultivation bases continued to increase, their chance to work together beca less and less. At the sa ti, Wang Lu has also been practicing diligently on the mountain, so they also have less chance and ti to et and chat. Thus, their relationship in the past few years has beco a bit rusty. However, this ti, unexpectedly they had run into each other.
After hearing the word fatty, Wen Bao, who ca along with his several apprentice brothers and sisters, imdiately trembled like a frightened wild boar. When he lowered his head and saw that Wang Lu was waving at him from the Four Divisions Peak platform, his complexion greatly changed. He imdiately tried to cover his face and run away.
Upon seeing this, Wang Lu suddenly beca happier. In a flash, he already appeared in front of Wen Bao, blocking his way, which caused him to be even more scared.
Wang Lu swept Wen Bao up and down with his gaze and saw that the guy had actually turned a bit thinner, but not like as if he was subjected to vicious torture. He seed to be full of magical power, strong physique, and his internal and external thod seed to have a sign of confluence, which was the precursor to reaching Xudan Stage from Foundation Establishnt Stage. From the perspective of his qualification and perception, this progress was actually quite gratifying. However, after a more detailed look, Wang Lu found out that the fatty seed uneasy, his Heart's Dao swayed as if it was badly damaged, as if he had just suffered a great shock.
Because Wen Bao was an honest and simple person, Wang Lu was imdiately curious. What kind of experience would make his body lose weight and damage his Heart's Dao? Wen Bao was not the kind of person who would rigidly cultivate on the mountain. When he was still in Qi Cultivating Stage, Wang Lu has already pulled him to help him fight the Seven Stars Sect, which ant that he could already be considered as battle-hardened. If he ran into an especially powerful enemy, he would not be in a good physical condition. But if he encountered a diocre enemy, he would not be scared so much that his Heart's Dao would sway like that.
But then Wang Lu rembered Wen Bao's first reaction when seeing him. Wang Lu thought about it, and then using his Non-Phase-magical-power-filled gaze, he gave Wen Bao a sweep. Suddenly, he burst into laughter. "Dead fatty, you cheated on another woman! I'm going to tell Junior Sister Yue!"
Wen Bao promptly knelt. "I did not!"
"If not, then why are you kneeling!" Wang Lu scolded, "With this kind of guilty conscience, do you think others wouldn't co to the sa conclusion? Co on, explain to about everything!"
With that, Wang Lu pulled Wen Bao with him to Spirit Creek Town. The dead fatty was so afraid that he stopped each ti he took a step. Wang Lu had to practically kick him to move his ass. When they finally entered the Ru Family Inn and saw the Lady Boss, Wen Bao's legs beca even softer.
As a result, before Wang Lu even has the chance to urge him, Wen Bao has already co clean, detailing every experience that he encountered on his trip.
It turned out that a few months ago, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals and Excavation Managent have continuously explored the group of immortal tombs rounds after rounds. Gradually, they started to penetrate deeper into the dreamlands of immortal, and at the sa ti, allowed access to the immortal tombs for a wider range of cultivators. The inner court disciples of the Five Uniques, as well as the Successor Disciples of several top level sects, or their elite disciples who were approved by their Sect Leaders could, with a guide, enter and explore the dreamlands of immortal.
And Wen Bao was among the second group of disciples sent by Spirit Sword Sect.
Considering that the exploration of the immortal tombs was only at the initial stage, Wen Bao and the others were only allowed to complete the first two rounds. At the third round, they must retreat. And in accordance with the earlier experience, as long as they dealt the first two rounds appropriately, they would almost have no danger.
As a result, in the immortal dream land, Wen Bao indeed did not encounter any danger. It was nothing but encountering a gang of devils in a peaceful village. Although the enemy was nurous, they were just a group of rabble. Wen Bao simply swung his Black Iron Sword and killed every single one of them. Nevertheless, he still received so injuries.
Wen Bao's progress was actually quite smooth. Although there were minor injuries in his body, they did not hinder his action. Therefore, he started the second round of explorations. The village people told him that there was a devil stronghold on the mountain and those that ca down the mountain were just their vanguard. Wen Bao calculated that with his strength, he could deal with them. Therefore, he went up the mountain alone to charge into the devils' den.
However, what happened next was completely beyond his control. Although Wen Bao was able to smash the devils' den because of his strong attack but weak defense, due to a mont of carelessness, he was injured. The enthusiastic villagers requested him to stay in the village to heal his wound. Wen Bao thought that since he has plenty of ti as well as it was hard for him to turn down their kindness, he finally agreed to their request.
"But I never thought that those mountain villagers could be so passionate…" Wen Bao wanted to cry but have no tears. "Initially, they just said they want to heal my injury using herbal therapy, so they have to change my dress. But when it's ti to change the dicine and clothes, they keep on…"
Before he could continue with his story, Wang Lu has unceremoniously laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha, I initially wondered who could possibly derail your path. Unexpectedly, you actually fell for the illusion and puppets in the immortal dream lands! Are you, dead fatty, actually trying to look for treasure or prostitute!"
The Lady Boss also bent down in laughter. "Dead Fatty, I really underestimated you. Other people go to the group of immortal tombs to fight hard or think hard, but only you who goes there to 'work' hard! Hahahaha!"
Being laughed at by the two people, Wen Bao was upset and buried his head on the table. "What should I do now!"
Wang Lu tried hard to stop laughing and patted Wen Bao on the shoulder. "First you need to tell to whom you are afraid to confess to? Junior Sister Yue or that Qian Hu?"
For a long ti, Wen Bao moved his mouth but refused to say anything.
Wang Lu also didn't insist. "Two people, two different temperants, two different treatnts. First of all, you have to be honest with them and not try to hide it. Your Heart's Dao is flawed, so anyone can see that you have a problem. Moreover, if carefully examined, it's not difficult to discover that so your Yang essence has been missing—mainly because you have a broken thod. Those two people are not stupid, so they would find the problem. If Junior Sister Yue…"
Before he could continue, he heard Wen Bao feebly say, "It's, it's mainly Qian Hu that has a problem."
"Oh, Dead Fatty, you really are sothing. You actually managed to win over that kind of stormy woman!" Wang Lu repeatedly patted his shoulder to encourage him. "If it's that Qian Hu, then this is simple. You just need to directly kneel, admit your mistake and butter her up. And then just wait for whatever decision she would make to deal with you."
Wen Bao asked, "If she, she… doesn't want anymore, then what should I do?"
"Poof!"
Lady Boss sprayed out the liquor in her mouth on the spot. Wang Lu also put on the "feeling resentful towards sobody for failing to et expectations and impatient to see improvent" look. "You're a f*cking Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, born of royal family, and now an inner court disciple of one of the Five Uniques, which one of these is lesser than that of her? So why are you looking like you're a watchdog that lost its face?"
"…"
"Let's just say, with Li Nana's temperant, if she has acknowledged you, then she has already acknowledged your strengths and weaknesses. You are indecisive and anable to coaxing but not coercion. Therefore, she should expect that occasional accident could happen. What's more, the objects are just common puppets in illusion world. If it's Junior Sister Yue, then you're finished."
Wen Bao earnestly asked, "Would it really work?"
"Of course. If you have to coax her, then coax her, if you have to admit your mistake, then admit. In any case, kneeling down and licking people up is your forte. Lick until she is satisfied and filled with joy, and your crisis would pass."
"Is, is that so?"
Wang Lu said, "Yes, it is so. By the way, do I need to provide you with drug support? At that ti, my Master gave a dose of drug. I can help you a bit, free of charge."
—
After sending Wen Bao away, inside the inn, Wang Lu was deep in thought. Seeing that it was rare for him to not speak like this, Lady Boss curiously asked, "What are you thinking about? Did Wen Bao's affair move you this much?"
Wang Lu beckoned with his hand. "No. I was just thinking. Maybe I have found the opportunity to reach Jindan Stage."
"Oh?" Lady Boss was even more curious. "Where?"
Wang Lu's Master wanted him to reach Peak Xudan in two years, and not to reach Jindan. Exactly because entering Jindan needed a bit of luck and an opportunity that was hard to find. But now, Wang Lu unexpectedly said that he had found it?
"Yes, in the group of immortal tombs."
Lady Boss was shocked on the spot. "Is your opportunity to reach Jindan relies on visiting those sluts?"
