The Demon Eye of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 95 Cultivating the Great Evolution Technique

Inside the secret room, Mu Chunfeng sat cross-legged on a futon.

He didn't rush to practice his skills, but instead first probed his storage bag with his divine sense to take stock of his possessions.

He has now collected six or seven tenths of the materials needed to refine his natal magic weapon, but he is still missing the most essential main materials.

However, just collecting these materials had already cost him a lot of spirit stones.

Now, all he has left are less than ten thousand spirit stones that he can freely use.

With this little wealth, if they were to encounter the main materials for refining magical artifacts in the market in the future, they would be unable to compete for them.

Moreover, his own cultivation also requires the use of spirit stones to purchase various pills to assist him.

For example, there is the Mind-Clearing Pill, which can calm a cultivator's mind and reduce the interference of inner demons; there is also the Meridian-Protecting Pill, which protects the meridians and prevents damage caused by prolonged or improper cultivation; and of course, there are pills that can improve one's cultivation level.

Putting everything else aside, even the most ordinary pills he bought to improve his Core Formation stage cultivation cost over a thousand spirit stones per bottle, and after taking them, he could only save himself a month or so of arduous cultivation.

As for the rare pills on the market, their prices are staggering, and a bottle can save you several months of effort at most; while the more potent "Haoyuan Pill" is extremely rare on the market, with one pill being several times more effective than ordinary pills, and a single pill can cost as much as several thousand spirit stones.

Therefore, what he needs most right now is spirit stones.

In the Chaotic Star Sea, as far as he knew, there were only two ways to quickly amass wealth.

One option is to hunt monsters in the outer seas.

Although the double pupils' supernatural power cannot compare to Han Li's efficiency in accelerating the growth of the Rainbow Grass to attract demonic beasts, the speed at which he hunts demonic beasts and obtains demon cores far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators of the same level.

Secondly, they went to "mine"—heading to Biling Island, north of Silver Shark Island.

It was a high-grade spirit stone vein that had not yet been discovered by the world. In his memory, this vein had even nurtured an extremely rare and precious top-grade spirit stone!

This place is still hidden in the vast sea, making it the perfect time for him to get there first.

However, Biling Island is located in the heart of the outer sea, which has already touched the territory of high-level demonic beasts, making it extremely dangerous.

To cross the vast ocean and find this island, one must not only guard against robbers who kill and steal treasures from the outer seas, but also be wary of ferocious sea beasts, and may even encounter a powerful demon in the Transformation Stage.

Without strong trump cards to rely on, going there rashly is tantamount to suicide.

That's why he decided to go into seclusion before officially setting off, in order to increase his chances of survival on this dangerous overseas voyage.

The core of this seclusion was to focus on diligently cultivating the long-abandoned "Great Evolution Technique".

If he can master the third level of this technique in one go, his spiritual sense will very likely break through the shackles and reach a level comparable to the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage!

Even if he couldn't directly cross that insurmountable barrier, the significant increase in his divine sense would give him more confidence to avoid danger and seek good fortune in the perilous outer sea.

Once he has mastered this skill, it will be the day he breaks through the barrier and officially begins his journey.

Having cleared her mind, Mu Chunfeng no longer hesitated and immediately abandoned all distractions, devoting herself wholeheartedly to the cultivation of the "Great Evolution Technique".

This time, it took a full ten years.

The cultivation process of this technique is extremely tedious and painful, requiring one to constantly endure the torment of tearing and reorganizing one's consciousness.

In the past, he would cultivate while focusing on improving his cultivation, and the joy of his cultivation progress would help to dilute this bitterness; but now that he is specializing in this path, the pain that strikes his soul is particularly unbearable.

Occasionally, when his spiritual energy was exhausted to the extreme, he would stop and relax for a moment, and then study the various supernatural abilities recorded in his main cultivation technique, such as "Yang Fire Clone" and "Lotus Fire Sword Escape," and he made quite a bit of progress.

Until one day, an invisible ripple suddenly spread through the secret room.

Mu Chunfeng sat cross-legged on the futon and slowly opened his eyes.

He clearly felt that the divine power in his sea of ​​consciousness was as deep and boundless as the ocean, and incomparably powerful.

Now, with just a thought, he can instantly perceive everything happening within a hundred miles.

His divine sense has completely entered the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

Having mastered his divine skills, he did not rush to leave seclusion. Instead, he lay down on the stone bed and slept soundly for three days and three nights.

For a Core Formation stage cultivator, ten years without sleep or rest is nothing, but tearing apart one's consciousness day after day and enduring the torment of a headache that strikes the soul can cause a deep sense of fatigue and mental exhaustion.

After sleeping soundly for three days, Mu Chunfeng finally replenished her depleted energy and, full of energy, pushed open the heavy stone door of the secret chamber.

As soon as he stepped out of the cave, he saw Yuan Yao enjoying spiritual tea in the small pavilion in the courtyard.

Sensing the fluctuations in the cave's protective barrier, Yuan Yao immediately turned around. Seeing that it was Mu Chunfeng, her face lit up with joy, and she moved like a butterfly flitting among flowers to greet him: "Young Master! You've finally emerged from seclusion!"

"Um."

Mu Chunfeng smiled and nodded, his divine sense naturally sweeping over her delicate body, sensing the abundant spiritual energy fluctuations within her. He praised, "Not bad, you've cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao's pretty face immediately showed a hint of pride, and she snorted lightly, saying, "Of course, with the top-level cultivation technique bestowed upon me by the young master, cultivating is as easy as drinking water for me~"

"Hehe, you've just broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, so don't be arrogant or complacent. If your foundation is unstable, you might fall from your current level."

Mu Chunfeng chuckled and shook her head, offering a gentle rebuke.

"Oh, don't worry, young master, I'm fine! By the way, I need to inform my senior sister immediately about your return from seclusion!"

As she spoke, she took out a sound transmission talisman from her storage bag, whispered a few words, and then flicked her finger. The talisman turned into a black light and quietly disappeared into the sky.

Mu Chunfeng nodded slightly.

Having not seen each other for ten years, he really wanted to ask Yanli how she was doing at Miaoyin Sect.

Then, Yuan Yao pulled Mu Chunfeng to sit down in the pavilion, and she obediently went behind him, pouring him tea and massaging his shoulders and back.

A short while later, a whooshing sound came from afar.

A blue beam of light landed in the courtyard. The light faded, revealing the figures of Yanli and Xuemo.

"Young master! You've finally emerged from seclusion!"

Yanli walked forward with a joyful expression and a graceful gait.

Mu Chunfeng's eyes flickered slightly, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he confirmed Yanli's cultivation level—the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

He sighed inwardly.

Although Yuan Yao and Yan Li both possess the three spiritual roots and cultivate the "Wang Shu Yin Yue Jing," Yuan Yao possesses the rare "Heavenly Yin Body," making her cultivation of Yin-attribute techniques twice as effective with half the effort. Yan Li, on the other hand, lacks any special physical enhancements, so her cultivation speed is naturally somewhat mediocre. In addition, she has been managing the sect's mundane affairs for the past ten years, which inevitably distracts her and slows down her progress.

As Yanli approached, Mu Chunfeng suddenly reached out and grasped her hand, saying gently, "Yanli, have you been neglecting your cultivation because of the many affairs of the Miaoyin Sect?"

Yanli was already overjoyed and smiling, but when Mu Chunfeng suddenly took her hand, two blushes immediately appeared on her fair cheeks, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

Although she had grown into a slender and charming woman, she was still an inexperienced woman in front of Mu Chunfeng, and such intimate gestures made her extremely shy.

However, upon hearing this question, her heart tightened slightly, and the shyness on her face instantly turned into a hint of unease.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her tone revealing a hint of urgency to explain, and answered softly:

"No... I have trained several capable subordinates within the sect, so I don't need to do ordinary trivial matters myself. As for cultivation, I meditate day and night, but... but I am not very talented, and my cultivation speed is not as fast as Yao-mei's."

As she finished speaking, her voice trailed off, and a hint of melancholy crept into her expression.

She bit her lower lip slightly, and her fingertips unconsciously curled up, afraid that Mu Chunfeng would feel disgusted with her because of this.

Upon seeing this, Mu Chunfeng immediately noticed the low spirits and fear in her emotions.

He squeezed her hand slightly, and said gently, "Silly girl, I'm not blaming you. Since you haven't been slacking off, then from now on, take more pills to enhance your magical power. Use all the spirit stones you've saved up at the Myriad Sounds Sect for yourself; don't be stingy with yourself. Remember, cultivation is the most important thing for you to survive in this cultivation world."

Upon hearing this, Yanli's anxiety and unease vanished instantly, and she timidly replied, "Yes, young master, I have remembered."

Just then, Yuan Yao, standing behind Mu Chunfeng, pouted and teased sourly, "Fine, fine, young master, you're so biased! You hold senior sister's hand but not mine, right? Then I'll deliberately cultivate slower from now on, so young master will feel more sorry for me~"

Upon hearing this, Yanli's cheeks turned so red they seemed to bleed, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, no longer daring to look at Mu Chunfeng.

Seeing this, Mu Chunfeng chuckled and used his free hand to pull Yuan Yao behind him into his arms, saying with a light laugh, "Alright, if you dare to deliberately slack off in your cultivation, see how I 'punish' you properly."

Yuan Yao was caught off guard and pulled into his arms, causing her to let out a soft cry.

The slight sourness and jealousy on her face were instantly replaced by a charming shyness.

Her body went limp, and she nestled against Mu Chunfeng's chest, burying her burning cheeks in his embrace, and muttered in a low voice, "Young Master... all you do is bully people."

Looking at the coquettish Yuan Yao in his arms, and then at Yan Li who was smiling gently beside him, a hint of tenderness flashed in Mu Chunfeng's eyes.

The Great Way is ruthless, but he didn't want to be a piece of wood who only knew how to cultivate himself in solitude.

With a beautiful woman by your side, occasionally pausing to savor these fleeting moments of worldly pleasures is the only way to make the long journey to immortality worthwhile.
