Chapter 118 Passerby Affected by the Cultivation Novel 24
After completing the cultivation technique, Jiang Yue took stock of her gains. After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Jiang Yue obtained three supernatural abilities: Five-Colored Divine Light, Five Elements Escape Technique, and Five Elements Shield. Five-Colored Divine Light did not have the ability to destroy anything; it was simply an offensive supernatural ability. The three combined provided a perfect balance of attack, defense, and escape. There was no need to learn any spells during the Nascent Soul stage; she could focus on cultivating her supernatural abilities.
This is why Jiang Yue insisted on completing her spiritual roots before reaching the Nascent Soul stage. The combination of the five spiritual roots, the five elements body, and the five spiritual techniques would grant her divine powers upon breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, these powers would consume little energy, and their power would increase further as her spiritual roots and body advanced.
As for why no one knows, it's not like there aren't other cultivators with the five spiritual roots who broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. There are, but the current mainstream in the cultivation world is to reduce the number of spiritual roots, generally retaining only one, which is the legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Most cultivators with multiple spiritual roots use Spirit Cleansing Pills to remove the excess spiritual roots. Moreover, with the three conditions plus cultivation level, how many people can achieve this? The protagonist is immortal and not afraid of wasting time. Jiang Yue is artificially cheated by 8888, and her cultivation speed with five spiritual roots is faster than that of people with heavenly spiritual roots. Even so, she was still just a little short of completing the task. Jiang Yue once wanted to give up, not to mention other unsuspecting cultivators.
After cultivating the Three Divine Powers to a minor level, 60 years had passed when Jiang Yue emerged from seclusion. She couldn't help but sigh at how worthless time truly was. After emerging from seclusion, the members of the local chamber of commerce wanted to invite Jiang Yue to become an honored guest, but unfortunately, Jiang Yue refused because she didn't want to lose her freedom.
With a teleport, Jiang Yue left the city. She took out her flying sword and flew back. It took her half a year to come here, but she returned two months after forming her Nascent Soul. This was only because of the limitations of the flying sword. If she had used a top-tier fourth-order flying sword, Jiang Yue estimated that she could have returned in less than a month.
As Jiang Yue quickly entered the city, she disguised her cultivation level as mid-stage Golden Core. After returning to her cave, she had accumulated a lot of talismans. She first went to the merchant guild to sell all of these talismans, and then purchased the inheritance of fourth-tier talismans and the corresponding raw materials.
After finishing my business, I renewed my cave dwelling for another hundred years. This time I will be in seclusion for a long time again, so I should renew my cave dwelling in advance. When I returned to my cave dwelling for seclusion, I clearly felt that the spiritual energy was not enough. No wonder the protagonist in the book changed maps so often. Even if there was nothing else, this little bit of spiritual energy could not withstand cultivation.
Forty years later, Jiang Yue emerged from her seclusion chamber, her equipment now top-tier fourth-order. She had also upgraded her production line. Fourth-order and higher talismans could not be mass-produced at present because they involved intent, an ability inherent to Nascent Soul cultivators, which Jiang Yue had not yet found a substitute for.
In terms of supernatural abilities, he has only achieved minor success. After all, they are supernatural abilities, and the difficulty of comprehending them has increased by more than one level. His realm has not improved and he is still in the early stage of Nascent Soul. For the first time, his body refinement has caught up with the progress and reached the early stage of Nascent Soul. His spiritual sense has also improved a bit and reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Overall, Jiang Yue is still very satisfied.
Jiang Yue's current combat strength is such that even if she can't fight a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, she can easily defeat a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. As for escaping, no one at the Nascent Soul stage should be able to stop her, mainly because her supernatural escape techniques and ordinary escape techniques are not on the same level.
The first thing to do after leaving the pass was to go to the merchant guild. He also needed to get rid of the top-tier third-order and early-to-mid-tier fourth-order items that he had ruined in refining. His wallet was empty and he was just waiting for this to replenish his wealth. Although he could teleport to the merchant guild with a thought now, Jiang Yue still flew there slowly. After finding Old Zhou, he handed over a bunch of ruined items to Manager Zhou.
"Brother Qian, you've been in seclusion for decades and you've already started forging weapons? You didn't ruin them, did you?"
Jiang Yue smiled smugly, and the top-tier fourth-order Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda appeared above his head. Shopkeeper Zhou gave Jiang Yue a thumbs up: "Brother Qian, it has to be you! By the way, after you sold your alchemy furnace, many people have asked you to refine magic weapons. Do you want to take on a few? The prices they offer are very attractive."
Jiang Yue took a sip of tea, pondered for a while, and decided that this business was worthwhile. After she reached the Nascent Soul stage, she would try to refine artifact spirit embryos, at which point the demand for resources would be enormous. Earning money through talismans would become increasingly slow. So she said to Zhou Zhanggu, "Okay, you guys can help me take orders. I can guarantee at least fourth-tier magic weapons. You guys can negotiate the price. I don't need spirit stones. I'm open to pills, ores, and valuable special cultivation techniques. High-quality or special ores are preferred."
"Alright, alright, leave it to us. I'll waive your commission and only charge them." Manager Zhou was overjoyed. Even without Jiang Yue's commission, the Chamber of Commerce would still make money. Moreover, having capable people in the Chamber of Commerce to refine magic weapons would increase its reputation. You should know that there are many other Chambers of Commerce besides the Universal Chamber of Commerce. There are others that are just as famous as the Universal Chamber of Commerce.
After finalizing the deal, Jiang Yue checked the bounties and sorted them out, leaving only three: one was to purchase the follow-up cultivation method of the "Five Elements Technique," the second was to purchase the kind of ore that could expand space, and the third was to acquire high-grade ores and spiritual herbs.
After returning to her cave, Jiang Yue didn't rest for more than a few days before orders started pouring in. Jiang Yue underestimated her status as a fourth-tier weapon refiner. Even the city lord, a Nascent Soul stage expert, wanted to visit her. Jiang Yue decisively refused because she didn't want to see people and was socially awkward. However, she still agreed to help the city lord skip the queue and refine a batch of weapons. At the same time, she also obtained some ores that were not commonly found on the market.
She also crafted a set of top-tier fourth-order cooking utensils for a Nascent Soul Chef God. Finally, she asked the Chef God to deal with a few demonic beasts. Jiang Yue stored half a warehouse full of the finished products, ranging from those that mortals could absorb to those that would be effective for Nascent Soul cultivators. She had collected quite a few of each stage. If the cooking utensils she crafted hadn't suited the Chef God's taste, he wouldn't have bothered to deal with these things.
Jiang Yue couldn't bear to eat it. The meat processed by the Nascent Soul cultivator was particularly easy to absorb. In other worlds, a minor illness might be cured by eating a skewer of meat. Jiang Yue treated it as a strategic resource reserve and also made up her mind to prioritize orders from culinary masters in the future.
While refining magical artifacts, Jiang Yue didn't forget to improve her cultivation. Unfortunately, her spiritual energy couldn't keep up, and she was currently only at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. Some of the rewards for her orders included special ores, so Jiang Yue also acquired a set of magical artifacts for soul defense. If she encountered someone who could use soul attacks, as long as they couldn't break through the artifact's defenses, they wouldn't be able to harm Jiang Yue's Nascent Soul.
During her rest, Jiang Yue also considered what magical treasures she should take with her if she left the cultivation world. At first, Jiang Yue thought she should take everything, but that was a bit too much. Even with her current fourth-tier magical treasure, the spiritual power required to use it once was immeasurable. The space was limited, and even with a space full of spirit stones, she might not be able to use the fourth-tier magical treasure a few times, let alone the higher-level magical treasures in the future. Besides, if she took spirit stones, wouldn't she take nothing else? She didn't need to fight to the death to complete her missions, so enjoying life was her priority.
