Monarch Of Time

Chapter 230 - 230 Immense increase in spiritual strength

As soon as the ʼSpirit enhancing pillʼ entered Shun Longʼs mouth, it instantly dissolved into a scorching gold liquid.

Shun Long could feel an enormous amount of energy filling his body, as his spiritual strength erupted from his spiritual space like a hungry beast, before it started to absorb the pillʼs energy inside his body.

His spiritual strength that would usually grow slowly only when he advanced in his cultivation, was now growing at an alarming speed, as Shun Long absorbed the endless amounts of energy that was coming from the top-grade rank 4 ʼSpirit enhancing pillʼ.

Drop after drop of golden liquid was filling his spiritual space, that had now turned like a vortex.

It took more than 4 hours for Shun Long to completely absorb the energy inside the ʼSpirit enhancing pillʼ, while his spiritual strength had increased noticeably.

Now, if Shun Long had to refine ʼSpirit enhancing pillsʼ once again, he was certain that he wouldnʼt run out of spiritual strength like he did in the past, and his spiritual strength would be able to support him for even longer.

Feeling the increase in his spiritual strength, an excited expression appeared on Shun Longʼs face, as he then mumbled to himself

ʼʼTop-grade rank 4 ʼSpirit enhancing pillsʼ are truly the best way to enhance my spiritual strength.ʼʼ

Little Black nodded his head when he heard Shun Longʼs words, before he said

ʼʼOf course, master!

Things that the cultivators in this Night star continent actually consider extravagant, like using rare pills to increase your spiritual strength before you break through to the Spirit realm, are actually a necessity in other places.ʼʼ

While people in this continent will be considered lucky if they can consume a single pill like masterʼs high-grade ʼSpirit enhancing pillsʼ before they break through to the Spirit realm, core disciples of powerful sects, have an almost unlimited supply of similar pills.

Instead, they donʼt just consume 1 or 2 of these pills, but they consume as many as they can before their soul and their spiritual strength canʼt grow any longer, and they eventually attempt their breakthrough to the Spirit realm!

The stronger the soul and the spiritual strength before breaking through to the Spirit realm, the stronger their spirit sense will be after their breakthrough as well.ʼʼ

Shun Long had a shocked look in his eyes when he realized the difference between the Night star continent and the places that Little Black mentioned, but after thinking about it for a while, it made sense

ʼʼIndeed, if there are more resources in a place, then the strength of the cultivators in that place will also grow.ʼʼ

Little Black nodded his head once he heard Shun Longʼs words, as he continued

ʼʼSo I think itʼs best for master to grow your spiritual strength and your soul as much as possible, before you break through to the Spirit realm.ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head in response, as he once again sat down cross-legged and continued absorbing the ʼSpirit enhancing pillsʼ.

A day soon passed like this and Shun Long had finished absorbing 5 top-grade ʼSpirit enhancing pillsʼ.

Once he finished absorbing the pills, he didnʼt continue consuming more of them, but instead, he closed his eyes as he tried to once again comprehend the Dao of Time.

After all, not only did Shun Long need, to allow his soul to get used to the increase in his spiritual strength, but he also needed to comprehend the Dao of Time even further, in order to be able to advance to the Spirit realm.

Time quickly passed like this, and soon, more than 10 days had passed inside the foggy place in the ʼStone of Timeʼ.

Shun Long had already absorbed nearly 30 top-grade ʼSpirit enhancing pillsʼ, while his spiritual strength had grown much stronger than before.

Days continued to pass while the ʼSpirit enhancing pillsʼ inside Shun Longʼs pill bottles were becoming fewer and fewer.

Soon, 3 months had passed by, before Shun Long finally run out of ʼSpirit enhancing pillsʼ.

In these 3 months, he had absorbed more than 280 pills, while his spiritual strength had grown at an incredible rate.

By now, his spiritual strength had long since exceeded what a normal Heaven grade cultivator could achieve, and yet, Shun Long could still feel, that his spiritual strength hadnʼt reached its limits.

Additionally, every time that he absorbed a ʼSpirit enhancing pillʼ, Shun Long could feel his soul becoming even stronger.

And yet, in these 3 months, he had almost no progress in comprehending the Dao of Time further.

Shun Long then spent the next 5 days enhancing the flow of time in his herb garden, in order to grow his ʼGolden Jade spirit treesʼ, before he refined them all into top-grade rank 4 ʼSpirit enhancing pillsʼ, replenishing his supply of pills.

Both Shun Long and Little Black were shocked once they noticed how much Shun Longʼs spiritual strength had actually advanced.

In the past, Shun Long would need to rest for a few hours once he finished refining a batch of ʼSpirit enhancing pillsʼ, but now, he managed to refine 3 alchemy furnaces filled with top-grade pills, and his spiritual strength still wasnʼt depleted yet.

Once he finished refining the pills, Shun Long didnʼt continue absorbing them.

Instead, he closed his eyes and imagined himself leaving the foggy place in the ʼStone of Timeʼ.

His body then appeared back in his and Liu Meiʼs room.

Although more than 3 months had passed for Shun Long inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ, barely 10 days had passed for Liu Mei inside the inn room.

Liu Mei was sitting cross-legged inside the room, as she circulated the ʼMoonlight Sigilʼ.

Although only 10 days had passed for Liu Mei, Shun Long noticed that her cultivation had already reached the early rank 9 in Heaven grade.

However, this wasnʼt surprising.

After all, Liu Meiʼs cultivation was already at the peak of rank 8 in Heaven grade before they entered seclusion, and after cultivating for 10 days using middle-grade spirit stones, it was natural for her to have reached the early rank 9 in Heaven grade.

After all, not everyone was a monster like Shun Long, who required immense amounts of qi in order to advance in his cultivation.

Shun Long smiled at Liu Mei who seemed to have opened her eyes the moment that he had returned back to the room.

After having a round of dual cultivation together, Liu Mei looked at Shun Long with a worried expression on her face as she asked

ʼʼLong-ge, are you okay?ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head as he understood Liu Meiʼs worries, and patting her head gently, he said

ʼʼDonʼt worry, Iʼm planning to attempt by breakthrough to the Spirit realm, but I still need to comprehend my Dao and enhance my spiritual strength.ʼʼ

Then, taking out 5 more bottles filled with top-grade rank 4 ʼSpirit enhancing pillsʼ from the ʼStone of Timeʼ, Shun Long explained their importance to Liu Mei.

After all, after his discussion with Little Black, Shun Long was even more determined to advance his spiritual strength to the peak, before he broke through to the Spirit realm.

Seeing Liu Mei nod her head and accept the pills, Shun Long stayed with her for one more day, before he returned back to the foggy place in the ʼStone of Timeʼ.
