After a great battle, the Golden Academy underwent quite a few changes. In the past few days, many new students joined, and none of them were lacking in strength. They were either at the Soul Realm or the Spirit Power Realm, with considerable power. The reason these new students were drawn in was that Sun Boxiu, the vice-dean, publicly released a cultivation technique.
A cultivation method called the Nine Transmutation Immortal Technique was placed in the Golden Academy’s store, priced at one point.
This was essentially being given away for free.
Coupled with free genetic potions and the unveiling of the Seven Meridian Cultivation Skill in the Evolution Method, entering the Golden Academy meant instantly becoming a cultivator who practiced the Three Techniques. Even if one was mediocre, their potential would surge. After all, the cultivation technique is a top-tier cultivation method, not something cheap, and it truly allows for becoming immortal as one cultivates further.
To supplement student numbers, the Golden Academy also lowered the special admission standards.
This caused the place to become bustling in just a few days, as if it had entered a period of prosperity.
However, the evolvers who first joined the Golden Academy were unlucky. The opportunities and dual cultivation methods they painstakingly pursued had become commonplace, leaving them with mixed feelings. But this was unavoidable since, after the second Sky Tipping, the Earth faced too many crises.
If they continued to cling to the old ways, everyone would be doomed together.
The era of great cultivation had already begun.
Li Yi chose to lie low these days. He hid in the Tianyi Palace to cultivate and attempted to open new acupoints.
But unfortunately, the time was too brief, and his progress was limited, unable to open the thirteenth acupoint.
"The further you cultivate, the slower the speed becomes."
Li Yi realized this was a common issue in all cultivation methods. After the period of rapid growth, each subsequent realm becomes a lengthy bottleneck.
He now had to rely on time to grind for progress.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but take out two special elixirs.
These were what that Wood Daoist talked about before his death. Consuming them could reduce ten years of arduous cultivation. If true, it would be amazing.
Ten years of accumulation might not mean much to a cultivator and would hardly break through the realm. But for Li Yi, it was different. If he accumulated for ten years, he might have opened dozens of acupoints, and his Divine Bloodline’s evolution would be even more astonishing, shortening genetic evolution by ten years as well.
This kind of progress would be incredibly impressive.
"Cultivators on the Xuanxian Continent are all treacherous and deceitful. What they say can’t be easily trusted. If that Wood Daoist gambled his life and tricked me by calling a poisonous pill a treasure pill, wouldn’t I die in vain?" Li Yi pondered deeply.
He dared not recklessly consume these pilfered elixirs. The only one he dared to consume was the Mana Pill, which was a common product, capable of replenishing the body’s cosmic energy and restoring his own mana. As for other elixirs, regardless of their labels, he would disregard them.
"I have two Time Erosion Pills. I might as well take one out and let Good Wings test it for me. If it proves effective, I’ll have Cang Erzi go to the Xuanxian Continent to grab some for me in the future." Li Yi soon devised a relatively safe strategy.
He acted immediately.
He walked out from the cultivation house transformed by the Tianyi Palace.
Outside, Good Wings lay resting beside him.
Li Yi’s arrival made Good Wings open its eyes instantly, letting out a clear chirp, seemingly greeting him.
He was about to feed the Life Extending Pill to Good Wings but suddenly thought of something and said: "Immortal, help me transmit the cultivation method to Good Wings. I want to see if a mutant beast can practice immortal cultivation."
No sooner had he finished speaking.
A clear light flew out from the cultivation house, directly entering Good Wings’ forehead.
"Taiyi, I transmitted the Nine Transmutation Immortal Technique to Good Wings, along with some spells. Good Wings is intelligent enough to learn them." Xuan Yuezi’s cold, melodious voice sounded in Li Yi’s ear.
"That’s good." Li Yi nodded.
Receiving the inheritance, Good Wings was momentarily dumbfounded, seemingly assimilating the newly acquired cultivation knowledge.
Nearby cosmic energy began to fluctuate, gradually pouring into Good Wings’ body. Its eyes shone increasingly bright, and its enormous body began to emit a turbid qi, which increased as the cosmic energy gathered more into its body, causing an increase in exhaled turbid qi as well.
Good Wings suddenly let out a chirp, awakening from its cultivation and flapping its wings, causing a gust of wind.
It had broken through.
Becoming a Qi Refining Realm level one immortal beast.
"Entered so quickly? Very well, then let’s test this elixir." Seeing this, Li Yi tossed over the Time Erosion Pill.
Good Wings, understandingly, immediately opened its mouth to suck in the elixir.
As the effect of the Time Erosion Pill took hold.
Good Wings’ eyes widened, its body underwent tremendous changes, thinning at an unimaginable speed, and its Qi-Blood was draining frantically, yet its aura continued ascending. In just a blink, its Qi-Blood nearly dried up, leaving only the skeleton, even its silver wings withered and fell.
Seeing this, Li Yi understood instantly, quickly fetching a Kui Dragon Pill and dozens of Spirit Blood Pills from the Five Elements Bracelet and throwing them all into Good Wings’ mouth.
