Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 176 - 99: Divine Soul Martial Arts, Comprehension Enhancement_2

Chapter 176: Chapter 99: Divine Soul Martial Arts, Comprehension Enhancement_2

After pursuing Luo Hongyuan for a day and a night, both of them were already famished. They soon found an inn, checked in, and ordered some food.

Wei Fan was fine, having a body refining cultivation, his physique was as strong as a dragon. Other than feeling hungry, he had no other discomforts.

Long Xueyi, however, was different. Fatigue was written all over her face.

It wasn’t just because she hadn’t slept for a day and a night, but also because she hadn’t fully recovered from giving blood to the Bodhi fruit.

After ordering food and wine, Wei Fan waved his hand to hurry the waiter to serve, then looked at Long Xueyi: "What kind of assembly is this Nanshan Grand Assembly, and why does it attract martial artists from the surrounding commandery cities?"

"You’ve already reached Nanshan Town, and you still don’t know what the Nanshan Grand Assembly is?"

Before Long Xueyi could speak, a voice chimed in from the side.

He turned his head and saw that the speaker was a young man in a flamboyant white robe, holding a folding fan. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I am Tang Xiao, pleased to meet both of you. Looking at both of you, I see you are extraordinary people. Are you not here to participate in the Nanshan Grand Assembly?"

"..."

Extraordinary, my foot. Long Xueyi’s disguised appearance was quite average.

Wei Fan himself had also disguised himself as an ordinary person, with simple attire.

"Long Xueyi’s sword!"

Suddenly, he noticed the sword placed on the table by Long Xueyi. The extraordinary aura must have been coming from her sword. The sheath was made from the skin of a Nascent Soul Great Demon. This person who called himself Tang Xiao must have noticed the unusual nature of the sword.

Tang Xiao clasped his hands together from across the table, "The Nanshan Grand Assembly is an event for the young talents from several nearby commandery cities. Anyone under forty and with celestial cultivation can participate."

Wei Fan clasped his hands in return, "Thank you, Brother, for the information. When will the assembly be held?"

He had gained some interest. Although he was part of the court, he was also curious about the Jianghu. If the event was in the next few days, he would have to go see what kind of talents the nearby commanderies had.

Tang Xiao replied, "It’s happening tomorrow. If you’re interested, I can guide you."

After a brief conversation, he understood that Wei Fan genuinely didn’t know about the Nanshan Grand Assembly.

Of course, that statement was also a test because attending required a certain qualification. If the other party hadn’t reached that qualification, it would be embarrassing to go, and whether he misjudged them would soon be evident.

There was no precise way to sense their cultivation level, but knowing that the sword sheath was made from the hide of a Nascent Soul Great Demon signified they were no ordinary people.

Most people using the skin of a Nascent Soul Great Demon for a sword sheath would have already suffered a backlash from demonic energy.

Wei Fan nodded lightly: "Then I’ll trouble you tomorrow, Brother."

It was indeed timely.

Tang Xiao nodded to himself, thinking he hadn’t misjudged. Hearing about the requirements for participation and still wanting to go meant they must be a Celestial Martial Artist.

As the food was served quickly, Wei Fan halted his exchange with Tang Xiao and ate with Long Xueyi in silence.

After a few bites, Wei Fan felt the Demon Hunter waist token in his chest vibrate. He looked up, noticing Long Xueyi was also looking at him.

Without a word, they both reached for their waist tokens with their other hands, channeling True Qi and the Power of Heart and Spirit into them, causing streams of information to appear in their minds:

"I just learned today that the Young Master Bai Xiang was slaughtered in the Donglin City battle. Who killed him?"

"Did the Young Master Bai Xiang die in the Donglin City battle? No wonder the White Elephant Demon Monarch has been so active in Cyan Cloud Mountain lately; he’s avenging his son."

"The brothers who killed the Young Master Bai Xiang should be careful. That old demon is going a bit crazy. He appeared again in Cyan Cloud Mountain yesterday, called over the White Tiger Demon Monarch, and fought with Lord Situ Feng. He threatened that if they don’t hand over the one who killed the Young Master Bai Xiang, he will continue to rally other demon monarchs for battle."

...

Wei Fan’s eyes flashed with cold light.

The old demon was surprisingly persistent. After being driven off once by Second Commander Situ Feng, he was still unwilling to let it go. He even sought other Condensing Spirit Great Demons to join him and returned to Cyan Cloud Mountain to stir up conflict, trying to force the Demon Suppression Bureau to hand him over.

Long Xueyi’s lips moved slightly, using secret transmission, "Don’t worry, the Demon Suppression Bureau won’t give you up, and besides Zhang Xianlong, the three of us, only Elder Huo knows you killed the Young Master Bai Xiang. Even if the Demon Suppression Bureau wanted to hand someone over, they wouldn’t know it was you."

Wei Fan nodded. He wasn’t worried about being handed over.

Should the Demon Suppression Bureau dare to hand him over, no one would dare to become a Demon Hunter again.

The White Elephant Demon Monarch’s persistence was pressuring him and also sparked killing intent within him.

The waist token contained no vital information. It was mostly a debate about who killed the Young Master Bai Xiang. Some said it was Long Xueyi, others said it was Jin Wucheng, and some even guessed Zhang Xianlong.

Ironically, "Nether Fire," the newly appeared Demon Hunter codename, was never mentioned.

"I’m in Nanshan Town, planning to participate in tomorrow’s Nanshan Grand Assembly. Any brothers nearby, let’s meet and have a drink!"

Suddenly, an interesting message appeared.

Wei Fan looked up, saw Long Xueyi gently shake her head at him, signaling him not to respond.

Wei Fan naturally had no intention of responding.

Demon Hunters were inherently independent, and he wasn’t interested in meeting strangers, especially since their main reason for not returning to Su City immediately wasn’t to attend the Nanshan Grand Assembly. Instead, they sought a populated place to meditate in seclusion and refine the Bodhi fruit; there was no time for social drinking.

After finishing their meal, the waist token fell silent, and no one spoke inside it. The two returned to their rooms.

"After taking them, refine with True Power. I don’t know how much it will improve you!"

Long Xueyi entered Wei Fan’s room, taking out two Bodhi fruits from her gourd and handing them to him.

The mature Bodhi fruit was a golden yellow, resembling the head of a Buddha with many bumps, emitting a tempting fragrance.

Wei Fan nodded, "Thank you!"

He accepted the Bodhi fruit, and Long Xueyi then turned and returned to her room.

Wei Fan closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and swallowed the first Bodhi fruit in one gulp, followed by the second.

As both Bodhi fruits floated, he began to add power to the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual on the panel.

Of course, he didn’t add much, just a year, since it was merely refining medicinal power, not actual cultivation.

As True Power circulated, a cool force quickly surged into his mind. Wei Fan felt a mist in his heart spirit rapidly dissipating, as if things once hazy were becoming clear.

This was a sensation distinct from the lift in cultivation level. His strength didn’t change, but the feeling was even more gratifying than an immense increase in power.

Everything around him seemed to become clearer, even his sense of the Power of Heaven and Earth was more intimate.

After a while, the refining of the Bodhi fruit concluded, and that cool energy faded away.

[You refined the Bodhi fruit with the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual, your comprehension has improved]

[Purple Profound Martial Scripture - Celestial Human Chapter (Fourth Layer Perfection)]

[Current Power Level: 1843 years]

There was some improvement, but it didn’t specify how much.

Wei Fan felt better than ever, his mind was clear.

"Why not try it out!"

Wei Fan focused on the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual.

Previously, adding to the Purple Profound Martial Scripture - Celestial Human Chapter, the First Layer took seven hundred years of power, the Second Layer took eight hundred years, the Third Layer took nine hundred years, and the Fourth Layer took a thousand years. The power required increased gradually.

Of course, this power wasn’t all used for comprehending techniques and cultivating the Divine Soul. Most of the power was used to refine the Power of Heaven and Earth and to transform True Power. The actual power used for comprehending techniques and cultivating the Divine Soul Visualization Image was about thirty years.

To see how much the comprehension had improved, testing how much power it took to fully comprehend the next layer would tell.

[With one year of power, you begin to break through the fifth layer of the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual and start comprehending the fifth layer of the Purple Profound Martial Scripture - Celestial Human Chapter, cultivating the Divine Soul Visualization Image]

[With three years of power, after consuming the Bodhi fruit, your comprehension is now beyond what it once was. You find cultivating the Divine Soul Visualization Image much easier, with the Power of Heart and Spirit growing more than twice as fast as before]

[With five years of power, your Power of Heart and Spirit is enough to break through the fifth layer of the Purple Profound Martial Scripture - Celestial Human Chapter]

[With eight years of power, you fully comprehend the fifth layer of the Purple Profound Martial Scripture - Celestial Human Chapter, entering the Entry Level of the Purple Profound Martial Scripture - Celestial Human Chapter’s fifth layer]

...

Wei Fan’s lips curled into a smile.

What previously took thirty years to fully grasp now only took eight.

Though there was still a gap compared to the likes of a prodigy like Long Xueyi, to him, it was already excellent. It wasn’t just about saving those twenty-odd years of power. The increase in comprehension meant he could go much further in the future, and in his future cultivation journey, the power saved would far exceed those twenty-odd years.

The power-saving potential from these two Bodhi fruits would definitely be measured in the tens of thousands of years.

The real benefit far surpasses any pale string of numbers.

"Besides the Bodhi fruit, I wonder if there are other Divine Objects that can increase comprehension!"

Having gained substantial benefits, Wei Fan planned to find an opportunity to ask Long Xueyi.
