The Great Sage of Humanity
Chapter 24, The Joy of Cultivating Through the Use of Spirit Pills

...The Sect Master might not know Lu Ye's situation, but Lu Ye himself was well aware of his own situation....

Putting aside the fact that he had consecutively redeemed over 30 residues of Blood Qi Pills from Manager Yang and consumed them over the past year, he had also consumed about 200 to 300 such pills in a span of 10 days or so during that period of time.

Under normal circumstances, inserting so much residue into his body would definitely cause a great hidden danger to himself. So, why did the Sect Master claim that his Spiritual Strength was still pure enough?

On the other hand, the Sect Master couldn't possibly be wrong about something like this. Lu Ye might not know how high his cultivation was, but he was a Ninth Level Sect Master. At least he should be at the Cloud River Realm. In other words, there was actually nothing wrong with Lu Ye's Inner Strength. But, how is it possible?

The first thing that came to mind was the Skill Tree. Even when Lu Ye was in the mine, he had a faint feeling that the Skill Tree was not something as simple as the master of the Spiritual Pattern. It seemed that the purity of his Spiritual Strength was also related to the Skill Tree. There is no other explanation for the current situation. Unfortunately, this was not something he could convey to the Sect Master easily. After considering it for a while, he asked, "Teacher Sect, how do you cure someone who has accumulated too many Poison Pills in his body and caused their Inner Strength to become blurred?"

“Naturally, they should stop cultivating and slowly remove Poison Pills from their bodies. This process will take a very long time to complete. Therefore, over-reliance on Spirit Pills during cultivation will not increase your cultivation speed. Instead, it will have the opposite effect. But, you don't have to worry. The proper use of Spirit Pills as supplements is not a problem. The key is moderation and knowing your limits.”

"I understand."

"Hm. Your cultivation is still quite shallow at the moment, so it is understandable if you borrow the help of Spirit Pills to help your cultivation. But, why don't you use the Spirit Restoration Pill when you already have it? Why did you choose to use the Blood Qi Pill to refine your vitality into Qi? You should know that even though both Spirit Pills can help you in your cultivation, the main function of the latter is to replenish one's Qi and blood, as well as consolidate one's energy.

She's surprised. “I don't know which Spirit Recovery Pills.”.

He had taken out a Blood Qi Pill to consume out of habit. All he wanted was to recover his Spirit Energy as soon as possible to break through his Spiritual Point barrier. He didn't think much about what he was doing.

Elder Tang laughed out loud before giving Lu Ye a bottle. “This bottle contains Spirit Recovery Pills. Although this is the lowest ranked Spirit Recovery Pill and it is of poor quality, it is right for you to use.”

Lu Ye took out one pill from the bottle and studied the appearance of the Spirit Recovery Pill closely. [As I expected, Manager Yang has some Spirit Recovery Pills in his hands. I have seen something similar in his Storage Bag. It's just that I don't dare to consume it lightly.]

Now that he had obtained guidance from the Sect Master, he confidently swallowed the Spirit Recovery Pill in his hand and calmly refined it.

“After consuming the Spirit Pill, you need to guide the Pill Power so as not to stagnate and cause complications later on.” The voice of the Sect Master sounded in his ears. This was the reason why the Sect Master said that the lowest ranked Spirit Recovery Pill was right for him to use. With his cultivation at only One Spiritual Point, he would not be able to guide the dense strength of the Pill Power in time if he consumed a better quality Spirit Pill. So much Pill Power accumulated within his body, it would have an enormous negative impact on his cultivation.

After listening to the teachings of the Sect Master, he did as he was told. The warmth slowly seeped out from his lower abdomen. It was a Restoration Spirit Power Pill that was released and transformed into the Spiritual Strength used by cultivators. Following his guidance, the converted Spiritual Strength of the Pill Power slowly flowed into his Source Spiritual Point.

First of all, Spirit Recovery Pills were more suitable for cultivation than Blood Qi Pills. Moreover, what he had consumed earlier was the residue formed from the Evil Moon Valley cultivators' failed attempt at refining the Spirit Pill. It required the process of refining his vitality into Qi to transform his vitality into Spiritual Strength. Therefore, it was only natural that it was completely incomparable to what he was going through now. Only at this moment did he truly realize the joy of cultivating through the use of Spirit Pills!

His nearly depleted Spiritual Point Source was fully charged again in less than half a day, but the Pill Power of the Spirit Recovery Pill was still in effect. Hence, he hurriedly guided the Spiritual Strength at his Source Spiritual Point to attack the barrier of the Spiritual Point both over and over again. At one point, he vaguely felt as if something within his body had been destroyed and the Spiritual Strength that had been blocked earlier suddenly flowed without a hitch.

Both Spiritual Points have been opened!

The Spiritual Strength contained within his Source Spiritual Point gently flowed into his second Spiritual Point, which gave him an extremely comfortable feeling. Even so, a portion of the medicinal properties of the Spirit Recovery Pill still remained. A long time passed before he sensed that the medicinal properties of the Spirit Recovery Pill had been exhausted. Only then did he open his eyes again. He was about to report his achievements to the Sect Master when he realized that the Sect Master was invisible.

The Sect Master had left at an unknown time. Even so, Lu Ye was not too bothered by the departure of the Sect Master. The Sect Master was the Sect Master; he would definitely be busy with his own matters. Moreover, he had helped Lu Ye find the position of the next few Spiritual Points. All that happened after that was for Lu Ye to follow the steps taught to him and work hard in his cultivation.

Lu Ye's goal was to unlock his Spiritual Points according to the training course set with the cultivation method as soon as possible. After all, he could only be considered a good cultivator after he opened those Spiritual Points with his Spiritual Strength and reached the Spirit Creek Realm.

He also intended to test whether his previous conjecture of the Skill Tree was true. Therefore, he did not stop to rest as he took out another Spirit Recovery Pill and consumed it. The dense strength of the Pill was converted into Spiritual Strength, which filled his Spiritual Points under his guidance. Two days later, he had consumed nearly 6 Spirit Recovery Pills and filled his second Spiritual Point to the brim.

He was surprised by his speed. He needed over 10 days just to fill his first Spiritual Points when he first reached Enlightenment. However, the same process now only takes 2 days to complete. The gap is too wide. It could be seen that the medicinal properties of the Spirit Recovery Pill were completely unlike its residue, even though it was only a Spirit Recovery Pill of the lowest quality.

He suddenly thought of Yu Xiao Tiea. At that moment, Yu Xiao Tiea told him that he had spent over 20 days to fill his first Spiritual Point when he first reached Enlightenment. Moreover, he had consumed the Spirit Recovery Pill at that moment. It was something that an Evil Moon Valley cultivator had given him.

In comparison, his cultivation speed was clearly abnormal. What he believed was that it had something to do with the Skill Tree. Unfortunately, he had no way of figuring out what the exact relationship between the two was at the moment. Anyway, it was a good thing for him. He might be able to uncover the secrets of the Skill Tree after his cultivation foundation became stronger in the future.

The Sect Master did not reappear. Meanwhile, Lu Ye had already been cultivating for two days. He was not tired, but he was hungry. Ever since he reached Enlightenment, his appetite had grown. He had already noticed this when he was in the mine. Just having a good appetite at her age is a good thing. The more he ate, the more vitality he had. It was uncomfortable for him to go looking for food. Fortunately, Zhou Cheng's Storage Bag still contained food. He wasn't very picky about what he ate, so he took it out and ate it with clean water to wash it off.

After being filled with food and drink, he continued to cultivate. He broke through the barrier of his third Spiritual Point half a day later. Two days after that, he filled his third Spiritual Point to the brim. The entire process consumed 6 Spirit Recovery Pills, just like before.

Although he wanted to continue cultivating, he was struck by a wave of drowsiness as he calmed his mind. He knew that he had been cultivating for too long. He had no choice but to rest for now. Taking out a few beds from the Storage Bag, he lay down to sleep and immediately fell asleep.
