I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 362: Chapter 324: [Revised] Yuebai’s Diary (Bonus for 1,500 January Monthly Tickets)_2

The Upper Realm is indeed more complex and dangerous than I imagined. The Cloud-Breaking Charge obtained by the Big Dog Thief is a magic treasure used by cultivators below Divinity Transformation to travel between realms in the Upper Realm. It has positioning capabilities and can resist the void storms. To Upper Realm cultivators, it is just an ordinary magic treasure, but in the Earth Spiritual Realm, it far surpasses ninety percent of flying magic treasures.

The Supreme Elder warned me not to foolishly go wandering around the Upper Realm, almost taking away my Cloud-Breaking Charge.

She said she had already promised Lu Nanzhi that she would take her to the Upper Realm once she reaches Late-Stage Core Formation in cultivation, and by then, she would take me along. The Supreme Elder’s contribution to guarding the Earth Spiritual Realm can earn her a quota to take junior members early into the Upper Realm.

Speaking of Lu Nanzhi... I’ve had no news from her for a long time, only knowing she is in the Netherworld Sea Ashura Domain.

Additionally, the Supreme Elder helped check my body and said my heavenly grade golden core’s heavenly tribulation is much more exaggerated than what she’s seen in the Upper Realm, claiming I must have done something wrong, being targeted by the heavens, and advised me to accumulate more virtue in the future.

Utter nonsense!

How have I not done good deeds?

Regarding the issue of the Ancient Rong Demon, I also asked the Supreme Elder. After her analysis, she said that the demon clan bloodline and human clan bloodline within me are indeed conflicting.

A Golden Core Stage cultivator can naturally absorb spiritual energy even without meditation to sustain daily body consumption. Although I possess a heavenly grade golden core, it also combines demonic power.

This is why the skill level of the Immortal Grass Scripture increases on its own; it’s a heavenly grade golden core and also a heavenly grade demon elixir.

Over time, if the demonic power accumulates to a certain extent, I might suddenly transform into a demon.

The Supreme Elder advised me to visit the demon clan at my earliest convenience, as some deeds always come with consequences.

Additionally, Danggui snuck into my room today attempting to steal Jixiang but was caught by me on the spot — naughty cat!

Shi Xiaowu’s Five Elements Wheel Bridge is finally constructed. After a few days of stabilization, he can commence the second Foundation Establishment.

Shi Xiaowu was very happy today and suddenly wanted to change his name to something more impressive for courage. I was drinking water at the time and spat it all over him when I heard his new name.

He said from now on he wants to be called... Shi Potian!

Immediately after he said this, a muffled thunder roared in the sky, whether coincidentally or...

These days, while cultivating the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique in the Organ Realm, I’ve discovered many overlapping aspects with the Vajra Furnace Skill, prompting me to calculate using methods from the Great Derivation Scripture.

I calculated until my head hurt and still couldn’t find the answer. Shi Xiaowu used just half an hour to finish the calculations for me and even said,

What’s so hard about this?

I want to find out, why isn’t this hard? ℴ

If he could quickly complete Foundation Establishment, officially becoming my junior disciple, I could study the Great Derivation Calculation Scripture with him. As long as we swap the math formulas for words, it won’t expose anything. I want to see if the calculus scripture passed down by the ancestor can defeat him!

However, I must thank Shi Xiaowu for finding the similarities between the two cultivation techniques, allowing me to transfer the cultivation experiences from the Vajra Furnace Skill to the third layer Organ Realm cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique, significantly saving time with the fusion of the two techniques.

My recent progress in artifact refining has been decent, but the magic artifacts refined are unsightly — only being thrown into the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven for decomposition and absorption.

Additionally, Jixiang went missing, found in the Mountain Lord’s den — surely Danggui’s doing again!

Shi Xiaowu succeeded in Foundation Establishment! After consuming five Foundation Establishment Elixirs, he established a sixth-grade Dao Platform, quite a remarkable achievement. He will strive to enhance the golden core quality, keeping hope in the Great Dao.

Today, Shi Xiaowu officially joined Heavenly Cry Peak, becoming the second disciple of the peak.

He returned with a new token, which indeed had the name Shi Potian inscribed on it.

This name — when he reaches Core Formation, he might endure an extra heavenly tribulation.

It’s nice; finally, I have a junior disciple to command. When Jiangg Ziying completes Foundation Establishment, I’ll also gain a junior sister.

Jiangg Ziying has been inspired by Little Monk Niankong’s diligence lately, displaying extraordinary effort in her cultivation, though every day, she seems to stage a scene of chasing Danggui with a scythe.

This Danggui — truly naughty!

Among the hundred Five Spirit Roots disciples selected by the master, a few have commendable comprehension. As long as the resources keep up, I believe in a few decades, Heavenly Cry Peak will usher in a prosperous era.

Presently, whether it’s myself, Shi Xiaowu, Jiangg Ziying, or Little Monk Niankong, everything proceeds smoothly; the only setback is my master at the Ten Thousand Laws Hall’s Research Institute.

A group of Golden Core Masters reduced to tears by those formulas keeps complaining that Heavenly Cry Peak’s reputation of crying every day, big or small, holds true. Now with the second disciple, they still cry!

That day, the master called Shi Xiaowu to lecture on the calculus scripture. Not only were the Golden Core Masters and Foundation Establishment disciples reduced to tears, but Shi Xiaowu was also driven to tears — hahaha.

Despite daily chaos, Shi Xiaowu slowly regains his former panache, becoming much more cheerful and confident.

From today, I too should study the Great Derivation Calculation Scripture with Shi Xiaowu. I surmise my days of weeping are not far off.

Arithmetic is so difficult!!

I’m better off practicing alchemy; I’ve taken a three-year commission with the Alchemy Association.

Goal, complete in three months.

Jixiang is gone again, sigh!

...

[Rat Year, June 6th, sunny]

Can I smack my junior disciple for disobeying and offending authority?

How dare he assign coursework to me?

A palm’s thickness of arithmetic problems!

This is tougher than learning artifact refining. I’ve already advanced artifact refining to the eighth grade, yet this, according to Shi Xiaowu, is still quite elementary.

Indeed, the heavens are fair — Shi Xiaowu’s talent in the Math Dao is unrivaled.

The Great Derivation Calculation Scripture seems to have opened a new world for him, plunging him into profound immersion, yet ironically his comprehension of the Five Elements and all things lags far behind; otherwise, he might grasp the Laws before me.

As for me, what’s lacking is a sharp perception of the Math Dao. Luckily, Shi Xiaowu can teach me after he learns, as can my master.

Always pretending to visit us, drinking tea by the side, actually eavesdropping and learning — don’t think I don’t know.

When talent doesn’t match up, all that remains is effort. Isn’t it just solving problems?

Solve!

After a whole year of effort, Shi Xiaowu and I successfully improved the Ice Arrow Technique together.

Now, when casting the Ice Arrow Technique, it’s silent with no signs of spiritual energy fluctuation, only solidifying into an ice cone piercing at the moment of contact with the enemy. Though a Low-Level Magical Technique, it’s exceptionally hard to defend against, its destructive power comparable to Mid-Level Magical Techniques.

Improving spells by verifying and deriving them from calculations truly isn’t difficult; however, implementing them practically was fraught with difficulties.

Nevertheless, with this experience, further spell improvements will undoubtedly be easier.

The main cultivation technique is of great importance, so I can’t share it with Shi Xiaowu. I’ve derived it based on what I’ve learned over the past two years; whether or not it’s miscalculated, this technique turns out to be perfectly marvelous.

Where is the next part?

I hope to find the next part of the Five Elements Returning to Truth Skill before I reach the Nascent Soul Stage.

Additionally, five Ruyi Treasure Gourds are cracking, and the spiritual artifact is about to hatch. Not sure what Little Green will become — I truly miss it!

Today, a battle against Fang Yuxing!
