Bab 25: Chapter 25: Breaking Through Three Realms in Three Months, Truly a Celestial Prodigy
In the next moment, Ryan's eyes became sharp, and he thought in his heart: "Supernatural Power of Causality, activate!"
"Pre-borrow the results of cultivation: "Mysterious Qi Nurturing Method" Level Three!"
He slowly closed his eyes.
In an instant, Ryan's Qi power circulated, the spiritual auras around his body intertwined, and the spiritual power churned and boiled, gathering in large amounts and being swallowed and absorbed and refined by him.
When he opened his eyes again, a sharp light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, Ryan felt that the spiritual power in his body was like a surging torrent, flowing rapidly through his meridians.
"Success!"
In just an instant, he had broken through the realm and reached the third level of Spirit Nurturing!
At the same time...
The dragon pattern on Ryan's forehead quickly faded and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this scene, a hint of surprise appeared in the beautiful eyes of True Person of Turbid Wine.
The refinement of the dragon pattern actually indicated that Ryan had now completely fulfilled the potential bestowed upon him by the [Dragon Soul Essence].
Opening the Spiritual Vision in advance and being able to see things that ordinary people couldn't was just a side effect of the Dragon Soul Essence.
Its real effect was that after being completely refined, it would elevate the skin to be like dragon scales!
While ensuring extensibility, elasticity, and flexibility, the defensive power had also soared more than ten times compared to before!
As everyone knew, the third level of Spirit Nurturing was a threshold.
As long as a cultivator reached this realm, each of them would undergo a qualitative change!
When Ryan had just transmigrated and wandered in the mortal world, he had encountered several martial artists.
Among those people in the martial arts world, some had a gloomy and introverted temperament, didn't like to talk to others, and kept people at a distance; some were bold, open, enthusiastic, and liked to boast.
Through them, Ryan learned that in many secular dynasties, there had been plots of "mortals murdering immortal cultivators".
And those so-called "immortal cultivators" were just low-level cultivators at the first or second level of Spirit Nurturing.
They were proud and conceited, their minds were inflated, and they were careless. They were ambushed, attacked by surprise, or surrounded and shot by crossbows, and died on the spot.
Once a cultivator reached the third level of Spirit Nurturing, it was almost impossible for mortals to kill them.
Because...
The weapons of mortals couldn't break through the defense of a cultivator at the third level of Spirit Nurturing!
Any cultivator reaching this realm would have their skin refined to be extremely tough by spiritual power!
They were invulnerable to swords and spears, impervious to water and fire, and no mortal weapons could harm them at all.
"This... is indeed the aura of the third level of Spirit Nurturing!"
A hint of surprise appeared in the beautiful eyes of True Person of Turbid Wine: "Clear, lively, and vivid."
"This is obviously a fresh breakthrough, not the performance of advancing early but suppressing the aura and hiding the cultivation level."
She was a bit emotional: "Clearly, Ryan has spent most of his energy on making friends, increasing his knowledge, and experiencing the mortal world during this period, yet he could break through three realms in three months!"
"Celestial prodigy..."
"Truly extraordinary, with outstanding talent that can't be judged or restricted by common sense!"
Although she already had an idea in her heart and secretly admired the talent shown by Ryan, she pretended to be calm on the surface.
True Person of Turbid Wine's voice was calm, but it echoed throughout Drunken Immortal Peak and the surrounding mountains: "Since autumn turned to winter..."
"My disciple Ryan has entered the sect for a season, and now, he has cultivated to the third level of Spirit Nurturing."
"Those in the Wine Sword Lineage who are good at weapons can come to the mountain top."
Although she didn't finish her words, her meaning was already clear.
——She wanted the disciples who were good at weapons to test Ryan's defensive power!
At the same time, she also had the intention of making a name for Ryan.
Ryan stood still on the spot, silently experiencing the physical changes brought about by the breakthrough of the realm.
The touch of his skin didn't seem to be any different from before.
It didn't become thicker, or grow calluses, nor did real scales grow, but...
It felt to him that it was more than ten times tougher than before!
An inexplicable sense of security enveloped Ryan.
Before long, on the mountain peak, there was a hubbub of voices.
Many senior brothers and sisters from the inner sect were here at this moment, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands.
From long swords, big knives to spears, steel whips, and powerful crossbows, each of them shone with a cold light and looked extremely sharp.
The first one to step forward was Ryan's acquaintance, the middle-aged female cultivator Sharon.
He had long known that the other party was good at swordsmanship, and today he finally had the opportunity to experience it in person.
"True Disciple, be careful! I'm going to make a move!"
The long sword in Sharon's hand was as clear as autumn water, with a faint spiritual light, clearly a spiritual weapon, not an ordinary thing.
She gently tapped the tip of her sword on the ground, and her whole figure faded and instantly turned into a silver light, stabbing straight at Ryan's chest.
Swish!
The blade of the sword tore through the wind!
However, Ryan didn't move, and a cyan-purple aura faintly circulated under his skin.
Clang!
The long sword stopped as soon as it touched his body, as if it had hit an invisible wall and couldn't move forward at all, and even sparked a little.
Sharon withdrew her sword, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she nodded and praised: "What amazing defense!"
You know, she was a cultivator at the fourth level of Spirit Nurturing and had already completed bone refinement.
With just a casual move, she could be as fast as lightning and could instantly kill most cultivators at the third level of Spirit Nurturing and break through their so-called "invulnerable bodies"!
After all, Sharon was in the inner sect of Drunken Immortal Peak, and her status was relatively high, so she wasn't short of resources.
The Autumn Goose Sword in her hand was a medium-grade spiritual weapon.
The whole body of the sword flashed with a cold light, as if it was forged from thousand-year-old ice.
Its blade was extremely sharp, and with a gentle wave, it could cut through steel like cutting through mud.
The inherent cold light was like a star falling from the sky to the mortal world, bright and dazzling, making people dare not look directly at it.
This sword could cut through heavy armor and thick shields as if cutting through yellow mud!
Talisman spells could also be easily cut down by it!
Although she only used seventy percent of her strength and didn't use all her strength, there was only a shallow white mark on Ryan's chest...
This result was really too unbelievable!
Sharon stepped back, and a senior brother carrying a huge axe walked over with big strides.
"Junior Brother, I'll go all out. You should be careful!"
This senior brother had a bushy beard and an especially rough temperament. He didn't have the slightest intention of holding back and shouted loudly.
"Ha!"
In the next moment, the huge axe brought a whistling wind and slashed hard at Ryan's shoulder.
However...
The blade of the axe only left a shallow mark on Ryan's shoulder and was then suddenly bounced back.
Boom!
With a dull sound, the senior brother staggered back, his face full of disbelief.
His hands gripping the axe handle trembled slightly.
The senior brother touched his bushy beard, was speechless for a while, then looked up to the sky and sighed: "Truly worthy of being the only true disciple of our Drunken Immortal Peak, so terrifying!"
"True Disciple Ryan, originally I thought you were just a good-looking guy who took shortcuts, relying on your good looks to win the favor of True Person of Turbid Wine."
"Now I know that you really have skills!"
"I'm convinced! Completely convinced!"
After that, more senior brothers and sisters took turns to step forward.
Some stabbed with long spears, some wrapped with soft whips, and all kinds of strange weapons were shown one by one.
But...
Without exception, none of them could break through Ryan's defense.
The surface of Ryan's body seemed to be covered with an invisible layer of dragon scales that couldn't be penetrated at all!
The onlooking disciples didn't step forward anymore and began to praise in low voices and discuss endlessly.
After the test was completed, Ryan was satisfied and sincerely happy for the improvement of his strength.
He had a calm expression on his face, without the slightest hint of shyness. He neatly took off the Dust-Avoiding Robe that was already tattered and full of sword and knife marks.
Then, he took out a set of brand-new clothes from his Treasure Bag.
The material of this set of clothes was excellent, woven from extremely precious Heavenly Silk.
It had talisman arrays inscribed inside, which could automatically absorb the free energy between heaven and earth to replenish its own consumption, and the dust-avoiding effect was constant.
Its color was as pure as snow and shone with a soft and charming luster in the sunlight.
Swish!
Ryan gently shook it, and the Heavenly Silk Pure Robe unfolded like a light cloud and then slowly covered his body.
Dressed in new clothes, he looked completely new.
At this moment, Ryan exuded an aura that couldn't be ignored, like a pure lotus standing alone in the muddy world.
A senior sister from a scholarly family stared at him and couldn't help but praise: "A stranger is as beautiful as jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world!"
Ryan smiled slightly: "Thank you, senior brothers and sisters, for your efforts."
"The friendship today, Ryan will remember it."
However, this joy didn't last long, and a faint worry emerged in his heart.
Ryan's eyes moved, and in his field of vision, the faint blue fluorescent words that only he could see appeared.
[Ryan: The Only Awakener of the Supernatural Power of Causality]
[Current Pre-borrowed Fruit of Cultivation: "Mysterious Qi Nurturing Method" Level Three.]
[Repayment Efficiency: Six times (Equipped with the Bodhi Cushion; Associated with the Good Fruit of Dream Entering - Fenrir Howe).]
[Repayment Degree: Zero out of Sixty-five (months).]
[Available Pre-borrowing Times: Zero]
The current situation was...
The Dragon Descendant's Blood Wine bestowed by his master had been drunk up!
The efficiency of repaying the cause of cultivation had dropped sharply.
Now there was only six times the efficiency left!
Ryan bid farewell to the enthusiastic senior brothers and sisters with a calm and composed appearance on the surface.
But deep in his heart, he was eager to refine his own [Wine Sword Gourd].
Then, relying on the gourd to devour demons and ghosts as spiritual wine resources to greatly improve his cultivation efficiency!
His master had already helped him a lot, such as the Bodhi Cushion, Dragon Descendant's Blood Wine, and Dragon Soul Essence...
Although he wasn't thin-skinned, in order to ensure the repayment efficiency and the speed of realm improvement, he had to find more ways to become stronger!
"Did you calm down so quickly after just being happy for a while?"
True Person of Turbid Wine had a smile in her eyes and was full of approval: "Such a good state of mind!"
This celestial prodigy disciple who came to her was really worry-free.
Although he was a bit inexperienced in worldly affairs, he had excellent talent, comprehension, and character!
The more True Person of Turbid Wine looked at Ryan, the more she liked him.
Inspired by her mood, she immediately said: "Refining the original embryo of the Life-bound Magic Gourd requires 139 kinds of spiritual materials."
"I'll set off immediately to go to the Artifact Refining Hall, Alchemy Hall, and Talisman Array Hall to exchange for 138 of those materials!"
"Anyway, at my realm, the sect's contributions are not of much use anymore."
"Exhaust all the remaining contributions and owe those elders a little favor, and then I can gather all the materials!"
"Just... there's still one kind left, and no one else can help with it."
True Person of Turbid Wine's tone changed, and she became serious: "That spiritual material, once it touches the breath of others, will cause flaws in the refined magic weapon and greatly reduce its potential."
"It must be obtained by you in person to refine a perfect Life-bound Magic Gourd!"
