Chapter 25: Three Spiritual Runes, Greatly Increased Cultivation Speed
After some investigation, Lin Yuan pinpointed the reason for his accelerated cultivation speed to the spiritual patterns.
He was certain that the spirit runes did not have this effect.
Otherwise, such an important ability would not have been left out of the information about supernatural powers.
If spirit runes possess this ability, then forging spirit blades would definitely be a required course for every cultivator.
Even if the cultivation speed is increased by only 10%, as long as the time is extended, the final increase in cultivation will be extremely terrifying.
Moreover, he felt that the increase in his cultivation speed was definitely not just 10%, but much more.
"So, it's still the influence of the Dao Seed's spiritual energy?"
The original spirit runes do not have this effect.
The changes in the spirit patterns are caused by spiritual energy.
Locating the source is not difficult.
What's so special about the spiritual energy refined from the Dao Seed?
Lin Yuan believed that even if he revealed the Dao Seed's spiritual energy, high-level cultivators would not be able to tell the difference between it and other spiritual energies.
He stared at it for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything.
It's not that I lack eyesight, but rather that my knowledge base is insufficient.
Knowing too little, even if one can glean some information, one is unable to make a judgment.
Therefore, Lin Yuan did not dwell on it any longer.
Since the truth cannot be found for the time being, let's not waste time.
He continued his spiritual practice.
An abundant spiritual energy environment, a spirit-replenishing pill, superior physical attributes, and spiritual energy from the Dao seed—now we also need to add a spirit rune amplification.
All five items can increase the speed of cultivation.
His cultivation progressed much faster.
According to his original estimate, it would take three months to break through the third level of fetal breathing.
But now, two months should be enough.
This doesn't even take into account the possibility that further increasing spirit runes might still increase cultivation speed.
Half a month passed just like that.
In the past two weeks, I experienced a class at the beginning of the month.
However, since the assignments had already been given and it wasn't time to settle them yet, this lesson was just like any other class, with only some guidance provided.
There are still a few days until the next regular class in the middle of the month.
Lin Yuan planned to demonstrate the Spirit Forging Blade during that course.
During the past two weeks, he spent most of his time cultivating, but he did not neglect the cultivation of supernatural powers.
Now, his spirit blade has been cultivated to the third level.
Two marks on the right leg, one mark on the left leg.
The wound on his left leg was just completed yesterday, and it is the result he is about to show.
A single spiritual rune, and it's only recently formed; isn't that just the beginning?
Based on his experience over the past ten days, a person with exceptionally high comprehension can reach the first-class standard by mastering a supernatural power of the highest difficulty within a month.
For example, the lowest level of difficulty is the first level, which requires ten days to learn.
Of course, the Sutra Repository on Xinhuo Peak doesn't have any supernatural abilities of lower difficulty; the lowest level is always medium.
In addition, as expected, the number of spirit patterns increased, and the cultivation speed increased accordingly.
"With my current cultivation speed, can a Heavenly-grade innate talent compare?"
Lin Yuan himself felt that his current cultivation speed was terrifyingly fast.
When he first got a spiritual rune, he felt it would take him two months to break through to the third level of the embryonic breathing stage.
But now that he has three spirit runes, he feels that a breakthrough might be just around the corner in the next few days.
"Cultivation level is different from supernatural abilities; it's not easy to hide. Such rapid cultivation speed from someone with superior innate talent is clearly extraordinary..."
Lin Yuan dislikes being too flamboyant.
He prefers to have a respectable identity on the surface, with sufficient cultivation resources, but whose true nature remains unknown to others.
However, with Zheng Wenyan's keen eye, he could probably tell the state of his spiritual energy at a glance, and thus determine his cultivation level.
In the end, Lin Yuan shook his head; he probably couldn't do it yet.
"Let nature take its course. Can't we even have some unexpected encounters?"
Time quickly came to the scheduled class time in the middle of the month.
Lin Yuan left the pass.
Lin Chao also came out of seclusion with them; he also needed to attend classes.
At the same time, they also met Wang Qiudao.
Upon seeing the two, Wang Qiudao cried out, "Finally, I'm finally going to finish learning those basic cultivation techniques! Soon I'll be able to attend classes with you all!"
At his age, going to a basic cultivation knowledge school and facing a group of kids under ten years old every day would be torture.
Of course, he also had to admit that learning these basics was very useful for someone like him who was self-taught.
Having transmigrated into the book, he knew many major events, but in some minor details, he was not much different from a self-taught cultivator.
After all, when he was "reading," his perspective was always focused on Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan and Lin Chao's expressions were somewhat strange upon hearing this.
In their area, apart from the beginning and middle of the month, even Lin Yuan and Lin Chao rarely met.
"Good luck!"
Wang Qiudao nodded frantically.
Once inside the basic research institute, many of his ideas were not realized, and he had no opportunity to utilize the information he possessed.
In particular, he was well aware that Lin Chao might be about to get his first opportunity in the near future.
He couldn't get that opportunity, but he could still get some benefits from it.
The prerequisite is that he can leave the basic college.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even be qualified to participate.
The three of them went to the Daoist Academy together and parted ways at the gate.
Lin Yuan and Lin Chao naturally went to the palace where Zheng Wenyan was.
Since January, he had also learned the name, or rather the number, of the palace.
Xinhuofeng Wendao Academy, Hall No. 22.
Upon entering the hall, one finds that many people have already arrived and are sitting cross-legged on prayer cushions, waiting.
Many people nodded to Lin Yuan and Lin Chao as a greeting.
After Lin Yuan and Lin Chao responded, they also found a place to sit down.
Not long after, Zheng Wenyan arrived.
As with the previous procedure, he first explained some knowledge about cultivation, and then asked those who needed their studies checked to follow him to the training ground.
The first two times, this had nothing to do with Lin Yuan and Lin Chao.
This time, both of them stood up.
Both were somewhat surprised by the other's actions.
Lin Chao asked first, "Brother, have you mastered the basics of spirit blade forging?"
Lin Yuan nodded, then said, "It seems your Po Jun is the same."
Lin Chao ignored the others and replied, "Brother, have you forgotten that my test is practical combat, not supernatural abilities?"
He also needs to compete for the top-tier academic assessment to obtain resources; one month should be enough.
Upon hearing their conversation, the surrounding disciples all looked at the two of them with disbelief in their eyes.
Both the Spirit Forging Blade and the Breaking Army Sword Technique are quite famous on Xinhuo Peak.
The former is one of the most difficult supernatural abilities to master in the entire Xinhuo Peak.
They both knew that these two were new disciples who had just received their lessons a month ago.
To master the basics of Spirit Forging Blade in just one month—that's incredible speed!
As for the latter, although it is a practical assessment, as senior disciples, they all know that the practical assessment will be tailored to the supernatural power you choose.
Without a basic understanding, it's virtually impossible to pass.
They were all somewhat skeptical.
Seeing is believing.
They believed that Lin Yuan and Lin Chao would not have gotten up without entering the gate.
Suddenly, even those who hadn't planned to go to the training ground stood up.
Seeing is believing, and it should be done thoroughly.
They intend to witness it with their own eyes.
At the forefront, Zheng Wenyan naturally heard the conversation between the two.
His surprise was no less than that of any of his disciples, so he said, "Lin Chao, Lin Yuan, you both have to take the exam, right? Come forward, you two go first this time!"
