Chapter 17: Accelerate the Cultivation!

“Master, please don’t rush. Let me first try the production process!”

Old Luo’s eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

His bent back straightened slightly.

He quickly walked to the storage room and took out some bones of spirit beasts.

“Bones of the Blazing Phoenix. According to the records, once these bones enter a cultivator’s body, they ignite with scorching flames. Perfect for crafting!”

“The spirit stones only need to be ground into powder with spiritual energy, then loaded into a malleable container, and the bone sharpened...”

Old Luo paid no attention to Liang Chuan as he began the crafting process.

In just a moment, a bullet the color of glowing embers appeared in his hand.

“Master, please take a look. Does this bullet meet your expectations?”

Liang Chuan took the bullet from Old Luo and compared it to an Iron Bone Bull bullet.

Under the control of spiritual energy, the two bullets were nearly identical in size.

Though there were slight differences in surface polish, it was already quite impressive.

“Let me try it!”

Liang Chuan and Old Luo stepped outside the door. Liang Chuan expertly loaded the Blazing Phoenix bullet and aimed at a distant tree.

Bang!

The moment the trigger was pulled, a red tracer flame burst from the muzzle.

In the darkness of night, it was dazzlingly vivid.

The next moment, the bullet embedded itself deep into the tree.

Boom!!!

With a loud explosion, a fist-sized hole appeared on the trunk!

Seeing such power, Liang Chuan’s breath quickened.

This was far better than he had imagined!

In fact, it was even more powerful than the Iron Bone Bull bullet!

“Master, how do you find the power?”

Old Luo asked cautiously.

He hadn’t left the sect during the siege, so he was unaware of the pistol’s strength.

“Very good! Excellent!”

Liang Chuan nodded excitedly. “Old Luo, if we mass-produce these, what help will you need?”

Old Luo rested his hands on his hips, pondering for a moment. “I’ll definitely need manpower, and lots of it! Also, spirit stones will need to be supplied, but bones aren’t a big concern — the sect has accumulated plenty over the years.”

Liang Chuan nodded. “You can rest assured. People from Blood Moon Sect and the other two sects are all at your disposal. I’ll teach you how to control the spirit insects, and if you need anything else, just tell me.”

“That’s more than enough!”

Old Luo was overjoyed, nodding repeatedly.

He hadn’t expected that Liang Chuan would even share the secret of controlling the spirit insects.

After all these years, he never imagined he would be able to command others at his age.

These were all elites in the past, yet now they worked under him — this was truly a great fortune!

After a brief reminder, Liang Chuan turned to leave.

As he was about to return to his dwelling, he saw Liu Ruyan standing outside the door, dressed in white.

“Junior Sister, what brings you here?” Liang Chuan asked with curiosity.

At this hour, Liu Ruyan still hadn’t rested.

“Master, the sect now has plenty of spirit stones. Should we continue distributing resources as before?”

This was a question many disciples wanted to ask.

Their cultivation had been slow, largely due to a lack of spirit stones.

With Liang Chuan’s decision to reclaim Nanyang City today, the disciples felt even more urgency.

Every bit of cultivation increased their chances of survival.

Without Liu Ruyan’s reminder, Liang Chuan would have forgotten. “Stage One spirit stones can now be freely used for cultivation!”

Stage One spirit stones didn’t affect him much. Though the insect control required spirit stones, it was only a small portion.

“I’ll notify them right away!”

With Liang Chuan’s approval, Liu Ruyan quickly went to inform the other disciples.

Watching her leave, Liang Chuan, who had planned to rest, instead headed toward the spirit chamber.

The spirit chamber was an extremely important facility within the sect.

It housed a spirit-gathering array that required spirit stones to operate.

Previously, each person could enter at most once a month.

Now, with Liang Chuan’s consent, it was open all day.

Liang Chuan entered the chamber reserved for the master and elders and sat cross-legged.

As the array activated, the spirit stones within gradually released their energy.

The dense spiritual energy made Liang Chuan emit a satisfied low hum.

With the aid of abundant spirit stones, the energy inside was thick as mist.

Each breath infused a vast amount of spiritual power into his meridians.

Even in modern times, few could cultivate with such luxury.

Yet Liang Chuan didn’t rush to cultivate. Instead, he took out an antique jade bottle from his storage ring.

It contained the Meridian Protection Pills his daughter had specially sent.

Their greatest effect was to thicken weak meridians, allowing them to channel more spiritual energy.

After swallowing the pill, Liang Chuan wasted no time and immediately entered cultivation.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. When he reopened his eyes, all the prepared spirit stones had turned to powder.

Still, the spiritual energy in the chamber was far denser than outside.

The array was built along a spiritual vein, so even without stones, it would be richer than the outside world.

Upon opening the chamber door, Liu Ruyan was already waiting outside.

“Master.”

She cupped her hands, keenly sensing the great increase in Liang Chuan’s strength.

He nodded, then asked, “Is this the limit of our spirit chamber? Is there any way to improve it?”

Though the energy was already dense, he still felt it was insufficient.

Since arriving in this world, he had become more eager to grow stronger.

“Master, the concentration of spiritual energy depends greatly on the spiritual vein. This is the maximum for our chamber, but Blood Moon Sect’s chamber is likely about ten percent better!”

“To get denser spiritual energy, we must seek other sects. After all, our White Sword Sect...”

Liu Ruyan didn’t finish, but Liang Chuan understood — White Sword Sect was the weakest, so its spiritual veins were naturally the poorest.

“Looks like to speed up cultivation, we’ll need other methods,” Liang Chuan thought.

Yet he wasn’t overly worried. With modern technology protecting his meridians, his cultivation speed would surely increase dramatically.

By dawn the next day, Liang Chuan had reached the early bottleneck of mid Foundation Establishment stage.

All the disciples gathered in the main hall at that moment.
