Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 38 – Tracing of Sources
This meant that less than half of the high grade Tigerfang Celestial Spirit had been refined. As for the other bear gall, perhaps because its quality was not as high as that of the Tigerfang Immortal Spirit, or perhaps because the spirits that had turned into bile essence were easier to absorb, more than half of them had been refined in the past three months since returning from Banyan Mountain.

It had to be said that Yang Junshan had summoned two high quality immortal spirits, and the higher the quality, the stronger the nurture the immortal spirit, the harder it would be to completely refine them. However, the higher the quality of the immortal spirit, the more rich the cultivators would be able to accumulate after refining them.

Yang Junshan had originally estimated that in about half a year’s time, he would be able to raise his cultivation to the Great Circle of the Celestial Summoning Realm in one go, preparing for the third layer, but with his current progress, he was afraid that he would not be able to completely refine two Celestial Spirits in another two months.

The reason why Yang Junshan had such a fast speed was entirely because he had been cultivating diligently these past few days. The reason was very simple;

Ever since he obtained the middle ranked immortal spirit as well as Yang Tiangang’s share of the promise, Su Baozhang’s entire person had gone completely mad from cultivation. In his words, he wanted to cherish this opportunity that was not easy to obtain.

Even Yang Junshan himself felt that it was like there was Thunder Lord watching him from above his head at all times, afraid that if he were to slack off, there would be lightning striking down from the sky.

He looked at Su Baozhang who was beside the spirit well cultivating. The piece of yellow in his hand had been refined to the size of the tip of his pinky.

It had to be known that compared to Su Baozhang, who would only come to the spirit well every five days to cultivate, Yang Junshan guarded the spirit well every single day. Not only that, the secret techniques that Yang Junshan had used to break through to the second stage had the effect of shortening the cultivation time, but even so, Yang Junshan’s cultivation progress was still far behind Su Baozhang’s.

Cultivating spiritual energy into the body was like metal needles stabbing into the body, and when circulating spiritual energy through one’s body with the help of the circulation technique, it would then turn into numerous thorny balls, and no matter how they collided and rolled, it would bring an enormous amount of pain to the body of the cultivator.

Yang Junshan’s Frenzied Bull’s Fist was already very practiced, his physical body was much stronger than Su Baozhang’s, but even so, the long duration of training still caused Yang Junshan to constantly complain. He really did not know how much perseverance Su Baozhang had to endure.

He had to change his body tempering technique. According to the current strength of his body, if he continued to train like this, the pain caused by his cultivation would surpass the limit of what his body could handle. At that time, his body would be the shackles of his cultivation.

If he had a year’s time, Yang Junshan could use the Frenzied Bull’s Fist to slowly cultivate. Even if his body’s strength did not increase fast enough, he could still slowly accumulate it.

In fact, Su Baozhang’s current speed of cultivation had already been affected. Even if his perseverance and willpower was astonishing, his body could not withstand the pressure of the rapid increase in cultivation, so his cultivation would definitely increase in leaps and bounds. Even if he could barely refine the Demon Ox Spirit, and advance to the third stage of the Spirit Aperture, the bottleneck would still obstruct his path of cultivation.

However, body tempering techniques were not so easy to change, unlike cultivation techniques, the latter could be carried out simply by sitting in a safe place, and no one knew what to train. If it was the former wanting to train, countless people would see it, especially Yang Junshan’s father who was a Village Head. There were already a lot of people coming and going in and out of the house, so if Yang Junshan suddenly switched to a body tempering technique, it would definitely attract people’s attention.

It was not impossible for Yang Junshan to use the Intermediate Ranking Earth Lying Fist. Although only the famous sects could use the Intermediate Ranking Earth Lying Fist, but at that time, Yang Junshan only needed to trust the Heaven-Shaken Sect Mountain Guarding Cultivator Chen Ji and everyone would know about it. The problem was that Yang Junshan, who had the Mountain Monarch Map in his hands, could not practice the Earth Lying Fist!

Therefore, right now, Yang Junshan wanted to find a hidden place to cultivate the Eight Mountain Monarch’s Map without anyone knowing. At the same time, as someone who had experience from his past life, Yang Junshan needed a secret place that belonged to him in order to hide his secrets.

When Yang Tiangang mentioned that the Ling Tian at the foot of the Western Mountain were about to mature, he made Yang Junshan remember something from his previous life, and that matter was originally related to the spirit well that belonged to Yang Junshan.

In fact, when Yang Tiangang went down the spirit well, he discovered that the spirit water inside was actually liquidized, which meant that the water in the spirit well should have a origin. Since the water was so rich in spirit energy, then what kind of situation was the source of the liquidized water?

Yang Tiangang did not tell this secret to anyone, but had been secretly searching for the source of the water in the well. Helplessly, even when his family was destroyed, Yang Tiangang had not found the source of the water.

In fact, the main reason why Yang Tiangang had chosen to cultivate the Ling Tian at the foot of the Western Mountain for the past three years was because he had always suspected that the source of the living water in the spirit well was right above the Western Mountain.

Yang Tiangang’s guess was not wrong. In fact, after the great change of heaven and earth in his previous life, when the west mountain collapsed, a burst of spirit spring water came out, the spirit spring water was not too far from the Ling Tian that was formed at the foot of the western mountain, and was immediately drowned by the mountain torrent. After that, the entire Mengyu County went into a frenzy, and no one tried to look for the spirit spring water.

If he could find the Spirit Spring Water in the Western Mountain, he could open a secret room there. He wouldn’t have to worry about others discovering that he was cultivating a high quality body refining technique, and he could also borrow the Spirit Spring Water to increase his cultivation.

In his previous life, he had only seen the spirit spring water gushing out of the ground when the western mountains collapsed. Now, he only remembered the general location of the source of the spirit spring water, not to mention the fact that the spirit spring water was very likely to be underground.

Yang Junshan returned to the front yard and saw her little sister Yang Junxin squatting on the ground as she watched the little tiger try to bite off a piece of meat. In just three months, the little tiger’s body had grown another size.

Seeing Yang Junshan walking over, the little tiger cub raised its head and let out an ao wu sound to greet him. Then, it lowered its head and struggled to deal with the meat bone.

Yang Junxin complained: Hu Niu has gotten fatter again, I can’t even carry him anymore! Brother, they all said that Hu Niu is not familiar with him, when she grows up, I want to eat his meat! Brother, let’s not eat his meat, okay?

When Yang Junxin said that she wanted to eat the baby tiger meat, Hu Niu, who was lowering his head to eat, suddenly raised his head. Yang Junshan clearly saw a flash of brutality in its eyes, and the demonic energy that was lurking in its body suddenly appeared.

Yang Junshan used his hands to stroke the little tiger’s head, the little tiger that was originally full of hair suddenly squinted its eyes comfortably, and only heard Yang Junshan say: “No one dares to eat Hu Niu, don’t listen to their nonsense, Hu Niu is my big brother’s sworn brother, hmm, sworn tiger sister!”

Hu Niu immediately raised her head proudly, and the demonic energy that emerged out of his body once again entered his body, but Yang Junxin did not pay attention to any of these things, and only said: “That’s great, now that my family has Hu Niu, no one to play with, Father is infatuated with gambling stones, and going to the Grass City everyday, and even going once in the city every two to three days and half a month, I don’t know how much money I spent, and always take back a bunch of useless stones. I still have to ask Zhang Huzi’s father to help him comprehend the stones, Zhang Huzi’s father laughed at his own father, causing him to majority of the stones inside his body.

It was just that he had made an agreement with his father in the past, so he could obtain one for every ten Jade Coins he got out of them. The ore he brought back from the market back then gave him a large piece of spirit jade, and his father had cut ten Jade Coins apart, giving him one on the spot as per the agreement.

Yang Junxin continued, “In the past, Mother had also cared about him a little. But ever since half a month ago, Mother and Father had a huge argument over the stone gambling and went back to their maternal grandma’s house, nobody has cared about him anymore.”

It was another perfect trap, and he didn’t know if the three mystical pills were powerful or not. Now, his mother was in closed door cultivation at his grandma’s house, not making any progress at all.

Brother, all you know is that you have to cultivate with Brother Bao Zhang everyday. Ever since Second Brother ate the bear paw, his strength increased greatly, and seeing Tian’er bringing Brother Tie Niu and Brother Qian Hai to fight in the village, Zhang Huzi and Xu Lei did not come out to play anymore. The children in the village are not Second Brother’s match.

Yang Junshan couldn’t help but frown. This kid had been pressed onto the bed by Yang Junshan to learn the crouching tiger picture in the eight mountain Monarch Diagram, and of the eight body tempering Diagram, only this one could be refined indoors. The Diagram originally focused more on recovering from injuries, but the effect of increasing the strength of one’s strength was not as obvious as the other seven Diagrams, but even so, Yang Junping’s strength had increased greatly.

However, Yang Junping was fine, but how could a child not show off when he had something good. But why did Yang Qianhai and Yang Bao Liang go crazy too?

Yang Qianhai had already started to refine the Immortal Spirit Stones, and Yang Bao Liang had also obtained the low grade Immortal Spirit Stones that Yang Junshan had brought out from the Banyan Mountain. At this time, he should be cultivating as hard as Zhang Huzi and the others.
