NOVPUBThese spirit beasts have basically exhausted their previously accrued foundation. It’s unlikely they could advance any further in a short amount of time.
Take Da Fu as an example.
Wang Ba doesn’t know much about Da Fu’s bloodline, so he can’t even think of how to help it break through in a short period of time.
"We can indeed assist with a Lifespan Breakthrough, but the difference between a Class III upper grade and a Class III top grade is not significant. It’s better to save the opportunity for its breakthrough to a Class IV."
After all, he only has one chance.
"Next, the preparation for rushing to the Golden Core stage begins."
Wang Ba seriously pondered in his heart.
Instead of immediately engrossing himself in cultivation, he decided to set all the gains from his recent mission in order, mainly those from the cultivators of the Tupi Continent.
These included all sorts of Magic Tools, with excellent materials but oddly poor refining methods; numerous spirit beasts and Demonic Beast corpses that were at least Class III; a great deal of precious spirit materials and Spiritual Medicines that were Class III or even Class IV; along with other miscellaneous items and seeds...
What Wang Ba regretted was that although the armlet and bag from the big leader were in his possession, and the leader was already dead, he still didn’t have sufficient soul strength to open them yet.
The same was true for the bag.
"Should I ask Martial Uncle Ma for help in opening it?"
Wang Ba pondered in his heart.
Qi Yan and the others had not returned to the Sect.
Currently, among the elders in the sect, he was most familiar with and trusted Martial Uncle Ma, Ma Shengxu.
Cui Daqi had been there too, but before Wang Ba returned to the sect, Cui Daqi was sent out on some assignment by the Sect, he did not know why.
After some hesitation, he eventually dismissed the thought.
Martial Uncle Ma seemed quite busy lately, and for now, there wasn’t any urgencies. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
If things truly became desperate, he could always go find Martial Uncle Ma later.
After some thought, he put away the corpses of spirit beasts, Demonic Beasts, and those precious spirit materials and Spiritual Medicines.
The former could be made into spirit food.
As for the latter, who could say when they might be needed in the future.
Wang Ba then selected some spirit plant seeds and Spiritual Medicines to give to Bu Chan as a gift of gratitude toward Ma Shengxu.
Martial Uncle Ma accepting Bu Chan as a disciple was a true favor.
However, Wang Ba would not take it for granted.
Therefore, they prepared a suitable gift.
After that, Wang Ba took all the unfinished Magic Tools and all the spirit items he couldn’t use to Diwu Hall, and from there, he received a whopping forty thousand points of Merit.
"These cultivators from the Tupi Continent... they are really rich."
Wang Ba couldn’t help lamenting once again.
These were only the unfinished Magic Tools; if the precious Spirit Beast and Demonic Beast bodies and rare spirit materials and spirit items were included... the amount of Merit attained would be unimaginable.
However, at present, these merits, combined with his original savings and the cultivation resources of the Five Elements left to him by Master Yao Wudi, should be more than enough for reaching the Golden Core stage.
After some thought, he sent a Sound Transmission Talisman to Xi Wushang.
Soon, Xi Wushang hurried over.
"You want to find a cultivation room that speeds up cultivation?"
After understanding Wang Ba’s needs, Xi Wushang immediately suggested: "Go to the Dungeons of Shaoyang Mountain!"
"Dungeons?"
Wang Ba was slightly taken aback.
He had heard that there were many dungeons on Shaoyang Mountain.
However, he had been too busy cultivating spirit beasts and dealing with Spirit Food Department tasks and therefore had not gone to see them.
Xi Wushang then made a suggestion:
"It would be worthwhile to go to the Five Elements Dungeon on Shaoyang Mountain. Not only is it filled with large quantities of separated Five Element Spirits, but the pressure in the Dungeon can also facilitate the rapid transformation of mana. It’s nearly danger-free... If you cultivate near a Class IV Spiritual Lineage with your current realm, it might be almost half as fast."
"As for merit, it’s about two points per day. It may be somewhat expensive for Foundation Establishment cultivators, but it really offers the highest value."
"Half as fast?"
Wang Ba was deep in thought.
He had not been in the late stages of the Foundation Establishment for very long, only three or four years.
According to the progression of the Five Elements Cultivation Method in his body and the saturation of the Mother Qi of Dharmas, it would take at least thirty to forty years to reach the peak.
And this is if he abandoned the Wind Style cultivation method in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If he chose to cultivate Wind Style as well, or even the Yuanci Cultivation Method he got from Yuchen, a cultivator from the Zhongsheng Continent... it would probably take more than a hundred years to reach the peak.
Wang Ba shook his head slightly: "Is there anything faster?"
"Faster?"
Without hesitation, Xi Wushang suggested another method:
"Go to the ’Nine Spirits Dungeon’... you could speed up twice as fast, if not more. The cost in merit is still 2 points per day, but it’s a bit risky and one cannot stay there long."
Wang Ba pondered for a moment: "Twice as fast, almost twenty years..."
"Still not good enough. Is there anything even faster?"
Xi Wushang shook his head upon hearing Wang Ba’s words, and replied:
"Junior Brother Wang, cultivation isn’t about being as fast as possible. The foundation is of utmost importance and safety comes first."
Listening to Xi Wushang’s counsel, Wang Ba nodded in agreement, and then asked:
"Senior Brother Xi speaks wisely. Then, is there anything that is safe and exceptionally fast?"
Xi Wushang was speechless for a while, and then helplessly said:
"There are indeed many cultivation dungeons in Shaoyang Mountain. ’True Spirit Dungeon’ meets your requirements. It’s safe and leaves the cultivation speed greatly enhanced, at least two to three times faster... but the price is also high, ten points of Merit per day."
"I don’t recommend it very much."
